gooseturnover's review against another edition
adventurous
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.5
World-building could've been fleshed out more but the point of the book was the interpersonal relationships in the High King's social circle and not the wider world the story's set in so I get why. Still, it feels like everything was resolved a little too easily in ways that didn't necessarily feel deserved???
