Loved…
- the world and magic, if there’s one thing this author can do is write the hell out of a high fantasy world that doesn’t get simple readers like myself lost and confused, but really really enjoy it and get consumed. The lore and the creatures and the magic was just fantastic!!!! It almost seems real which just blows my mind!
- obviously the diversity! There’s queer characters, there’s characters that are physically different And persevere tremendously!!
Meh…
- I felt things just happened too quick and too conveniently, the first part happens with a bang and then it prompts you for this epic journey. Well then things just conveniently start happening and the characters conveniently are “welcomed” with open arms
- I enjoyed the romance but I felt like that too was a bit rushed
- not sure what this age range is but if it’s adult 🥴 I could handle new adult but for adult this reads more childish with their actions and again how things just laid out to be
I by all intents plan on continuing this series, I love the writing style and again this authors just grips by the reigns as far as a beautiful magical story. Just a few things that fell flat from reading her first trilogy to bouncing to this one.
