This book is a great epic fantasy with some political drama thrown in. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It keeps a fast pace with a lot happening throughout the story. I loved that the main character was the only person in the story without a special power, or fury, yet he was able to persevere.
Broke my record. 594 pages in 3 hours, 51 minutes. Happy about that, but wish that I had paced myself more because I retained EVEN LESS than I usually do.
I can’t help but say that I enjoyed myself while reading this one. I liked the pacing of the book. I also liked the depiction of the fights and battles it was all so interesting and fun to read.
I was starting to get scared that I would no longer enjoy any book again because it seems that I’ve been reading a lot of books that I didn’t enjoy for a long time and I was wondering if I was becoming to harsh on books to see any good in them but this boons restored my faith because I clearly enjoyed it.

Normally I'm not into following teen characters but Tavi was pretty fun, all things considered.
Don't ask me why the moment that got me on board with the Bernard-Amara ship was when he rag-dolled her into the ground. At first I was unsure about the age gap but then googled it and it was ~10 years less than I thought it was. But it's still a gap, for sure.
But I agree with other reviewers that the Kord subplot and violence against women just felt thrown in for shock value rather than truly meaningful to the plot. We already understood he was evil, bruh. Kept my review from being 5 star

Fascinating world. Interesting people.
A great start for a series, placed in a unique fantasy world that feels real and meaningful. Great characters to connect with. Fast-paced and engaging.

Boy howdy this one took quite a while to pick up, but I’m glad I stuck with it, because I really enjoyed it and found myself searching for the next one in the series after it ended.
