Librarian: I will be recommending this for purchase. It’s perfect for many of our fantasy readers. I’ll be particularly recommending it to the fans of Kiera Cass and Leigh Bardugo.
Reader: I absolutely flew through this book. If I didn’t have to work I probably would have read it in a single sitting. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) real life intervened and kept me from continuously reading. I can’t decide whether that helped or hurt my enjoyment of this book. On the one hand, slowing down allowed me to appreciate the details of the world. On the other hand it also caused me to focus more on the book’s flaws then I otherwise might have. And it does have flaws. Many of the twists are a bit predictable, and there are some moments that strain incredulity. Still it’s an enjoyable book and I look forward to seeing what comes next.
