A review by misskatt
Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff
4.0
I’m giving this book a 4 (4.25?) It’s no secret I love Jay Kristoff and I’m so happy my friends and I decided to read this as part of our January TBR.
I know this is his earlier work and his writing has only become better since this book, but it was a little hard to grasp the world in the very beginning. I had to re-listen to a few parts to understand what he was describing, but I never lost interest in the book. If anything, my interest only grew the more the story went on.
By the end, I fell in love with this book. It was like a steampunk Japan with a healthy dose of the country’s lore. Also, reminded me a bit of anime, but I’m also an avid anime fan (and have seen so many) so that may just be me.
