A Cursed Son by Day Leitao
4.0
Got the ARC from NetGalley!
Not going to lie, the start of the book was a bit rocky. I'm glad I stuck around because the main characters feel fully fleshed out and had real interactions--not like those cringy quips that you'd think "no one would say that out loud".
The plot moved well, I love how given the third-person restricted point-of-view, we were as clueless as the lead character. Also really love the use of dreams in this book... *dreamy sigh*
Anyway, my only gripe would probably be that the side characters feel like side characters, what do I mean by that? It just means that with fully fleshed out main characters, you kind of expect just a lot more roundedness to the side characters as well.
It might also just be that this is the first book to a series and so the author's just trying to set the scene for everything to unfold! So excited to read the actual book and especially the sequel!!!
