The Waking Fire by Anthony Ryan

4.0

Very cool magic system. Very suspenseful; I kept wanting to know what was going to happen next. The jumps between POVs were kind of irritating but all of the different storylines were good. Did not like the battle with the Corvantine as it was very reminiscient of WWI (in a very disturbing way). There are multiple things I'm quite confused about. Although I did enjoy this book, I think just this one was enough so I don't think I'll be reading the sequels (I just feel like it's going to take ages to resolve all the issues and I don't care enough to put that much time in). Also it kind of reminded me of 'The Bone Ships' by R.J. Barker.
