4.5

This book was a joy to read, lovely flowing colourful language, rich descriptions of a lush world filled with compelling characters. So many weird and original ideas, it really restored my faith in fantasy as a genre as I’ve read a lot of awful fantasy recently. 

Is and War were a wonderful duo, I liked them immediately and their personalities felt fleshed out and real, so nice to read a fantasy book where the main characters aren’t teenagers!

I would only mark down as I feel like it tailed off a little in the end when all was revealed in a way that was a bit anticlimactic. But I think this was largely because it plans to be a series as there were a few open threads that were only teased at, so I’ll reserve full judgement until I’ve read on.

Will be reading everything I can get my hands on from this author.
