At first I was concerned I wouldn’t like this book. It was pretty slow to get going (lots of world-building!) but once it gets going, I was utterly captivated by it. That slow start becomes worth it and you are left with a thoroughly satisfying end. I will be preordering the next one and will be waiting impatiently until Autumn 2025

Excellent voice acting. Especially for the character "The Other". *chef's kiss. It's such a cool and unique fantasy world. Love the world building.
