I enjoyed Rhoa's opening heist and how Jace weaved into that. I liked the two main characters, and at least the introduction of many others.Īnd, the set-up and initial chapters were great.

Good characterization and POV maintenance. It does not suffer from excessive description. If that's not a pull quote, I don't know what is. Okay, back to the compliments! The writing is completely competent. I get it, it's kingdoms but ruled by wizards. As long as I'm complaining I'll add that I hate the word "wizardoms". Now I start hedging my compliments: in other ways the book has 90s sensibilities that don't fly well today. I think the cover is great it looks like an awesome 90s fantasy movie poster. It's got generally good ratings, so if I'm the odd one out, here, at least, are my reasons.įirst, the good stuff. I'm going to try not to get too petty, but there is much I didn't like about this straightforward fantasy novel.
