There were some pacing issues but besides those I rather enjoyed this world! For a debut epic fantasy, this was very well written with interesting characters and a world that makes you want to read more.

An epic debut fantasy for fans of Game of Thrones, Brandon Sanderson, and N.K. Jemison. Fast paced, incredible world building, and epic battles with giant ancestral spirits. Can’t wait for the sequel!
My only critique is that I had an issue locating everyone on the map. I had to reach out to the author to get clarity as to where Lordsgrave was. Maybe I missed something, or maybe it could have been more clear.

The description of this book promised an amazing epic fantasy, but it was just ok in the end.
I liked that there were multiple POVs, but even those were chaotic and irregular. Some characters were present almost all the time while others popped here and there. At some point one of them reappeared after more than 100 pages or so and I forgot her and had to remind myself who she is 😂 I would have liked more consistency.
A plus is the magic and the way that some of the characters had the power to invoke their ancestors who helped them in battles. Pretty cool!
What I didn't like was the repetition and the length of the book. It had many moments in which I had to focus to remain interested in the story.
Overall I can say that I liked it, but not enough to continue the series.
