I think this was a huge step up from Of Blood And Fire. Cahill’s writing and prose has really improved, and the characters felt a lot more alive.
The pacing is super fast (being a novella), and Cahill paints a vivid picture of a city falling to ruin. I’m glad I read this after Of Blood And Fire.
The only thing I didn’t like was how characters spoke to each other. Again, it’s very much like a cliche fantasy movie in terms of its dialogue.
I still enjoyed it! Will definitely continue with the series.
