Amazing Story & Poetic Writing
This launched straight into my top, favorite Fantasy Novels! This is a fantastic story, but what makes it great is that it’s written as if told by a great storyteller!
It was easy to connect with the rich world building because it was anchored by a deep sense of culture for both main characters. Great care and intention were given to each character arc, making them believable and relatable. And the prose and writing are chef’s kiss.
For readers who prefer contemporary novels over fantasy, this story is based in a fantasy world that exists within and interacts with our contemporary world. So I think it’s in reaching distance for contemporary readers, too.
This novel goes on my Favorites Shelf, and I know I’ll visit it again and again!
