Fun read

Revisado: 04-09-25

The story and characters are engaging and the plot is paced pretty well. It didn’t drag or jump the shark like some similar titles do. My only critique is that some of the narration choices were strange and a little grating. This faded into the background by about the halfway point and became a non issue for me. Will definitely read on in the series!

Characters

Revisado: 02-18-25

There is a general lack of direction in this series with the promise of a wider arc being told in the background through characters other than the protagonist. This choice is both frustrating and refreshing at the same time, though it’s made less frustrating than it could be because the characters are fantastic. All in all, it is a relaxing tale where everything conventionally interesting and adventurous happens AWAY from the protagonist.

Fun characters

Fun novel that explores areas of magic that not many other authors explore. Well rounded characters that you can get behind. Good read!

Two Worlds, Two Characters, One Heart.

Revisado: 05-30-24

The characters of this book are extremely well written to the point where, when you would’ve been upset with characters at certain points for actions taken/words spoken, you can’t find it in you because that is simply who they are. A general warning though, it can be a little frustrating towards the beginning of the novel but not in a bad way. In the complete way that you, as the reader, realize the right thing to do/say but you understand fully why the character doesn’t see that path. This novel, brought to life wonderfully in audio by Kramer and Reading, pulls you towards the characters and you might find yourself falling in love with them as they fall for each other.
As for other standouts, the world building feels complete and realized without being overdone. The cultures and customs are odd but in a way that a new culture in the real world might appear odd. This, I think is an achievement considering the fantastical nature of the world.
There is also a fresh exploration of themes pertaining to lies, mistakes, forgiveness, tradition, and many others. The exploration of these themes was done well enough where I found myself arriving to the conclusions Sanderson was pointing towards before they were fully realized in text. This culminated in a deeply resonate sense of understanding and catharsis that I’ve felt only a few other times when reading.
I will be reading/listening to this many more times I suspect.
