Enjoyable, if long, epic fantasy.

If I read more in this series, I hope the female characters will have more to do.

I picked this up, intending to just check out the first few pages to see where to place it on my tbr...and next thing I know, it's fifteen minutes to midnight and I've finished the whole thing!

If someone had tried to pitch the premise to me, I wouldn't have been interested - hence it taking me three years to pick up, despite being a long-time fan of Neumeier's. But Tuyo swallowed me whole. The *way* it was told, the characters and the twistiness of the plot, made a story that shouldn't have interested me completely entrancing. Will definitely be reading the rest of the series!

A very compelling and unique account of friendship, honor, and family.

What an unexpected pleasure. Ryo is a very strong character, easy to like, and enjoyable to spend the whole book in his POV. I really enjoyed reading about these two cultures, especially the Ungaro. This book reminded me a bit of the world of Horizon: Zero Dawn - without all the robots.
