adventurous
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.0
SJM really knows how to write a third act! I definitely enjoyed the latter section of the book; it’s worth preserving through the slower earlier chapters. Overall it’s a solid fantasy novel with quest and rebellion threads and a lot a spicy scenes (honestly a bit much for me but totally on brand for SJM from what I can tell)
Graphic: Sexual content
Minor: Blood, Colonisation, Death, Slavery, Stalking, and War
