My Review:
This book was honestly really good. For some reason I thought it was over 300 pages when I requested, but it’s actually under 200. I thought that was strange for a fantasy novel, especially one with so much worldbuilding, but it seemed to work!
Speaking of the worldbuilding, it was a bit confusing. With less than 200 pages of content, it’s hard to make a good introduction to this world, but the author did a good job for the most part. It’s one of those where I’m extremely confused while reading, but I could probably explain it to someone else.
I really liked the cast of characters, but I think one of the biggest issues was that I could hardly get attached to them with barely any time to know them, which bothered me. I feel like I would’ve liked this significantly more if it was more drawn out to a typical fantasy novel length.
Regardless, I really liked this book and would recommend it to people who like short fantasies with a strong, well-written world. I’d absolutely read a sequel.
