Ilahara by C.M. Karys
4.0
4 stars!
I had the great opportunity to read this book early and I really enjoyed it.
It is definitely well written and you can tell that the author duo work together for a long time. Their writing style is perfect, if you don't know you will never think that it is a book writing by two person. The plot is really interesting. You get a lot of informations about the world building and where the story wants to go. The only problem for me it is that it was all a little too fast. You don’t really have the time to get involved in the story. There are lot of great scene, but every single time a big moment or revelation happens you don’t have time to have a reaction because the next scene is already in motion.
I think that the characters are another victim of the fast narration. I liked them, but at the end of the book I didn’t care for them. The center of the book is definitely the action and the plot, that are great, but characters become secondary to this. I would have preferred more scenes where you have a moment to know better the characters or have time to give more space to some scene that could have a major impact on the reader.
Ilahara is a well written book with a really interesting story. If this is what the writers do with their first book I can’t wait to see what they will do with the second.
