4.5

Writing - 4/5 

Plot - 4/5 

Characters - 5/5 

World-building - 4/5 

Personal tastes - 5/5 

TOTAL: 4.4 

 

The pacing is a snowball effect, with a slow start but by the end all the disparate threads come together for an epic finale (at least 0.5 points of my rating come exclusively from Kissen's ending specifically—so good!). I really liked the characters and their relationships, which develop in a series of fits and starts as they want more and more to like and trust each other and yet have trouble doing so (understandably, given each person’s secrets and background). Skedi especially strikes a good balance between sympathetic and cute, and mildly terrifying.

Come for the interesting premise, the trusted tropes, and the odd couple (except there are four) cast of characters. Stay for the character growth and development, well written action sequences, and compelling twist at the end. I’m glad I have the sequel ready to go. 

Read this if you like:

Compelling characters you can’t help but root for; grump/sunshine but they’re both grumps; fantasy with a very light romance subplot
