Garth Nix proves once again that he writes interesting characters in interesting settings.

Readable and entertaining, but very short, compact. Somewhat anticlimactic. Kinda uninteresting villain. Failure to get me invested in stakes. Smacks of a bit too much YA.

This was truly well written and I alway enjoy Garth Nix. But I just couldn’t get super into this one. The way the story was told brought it up to 4 star level from a 3. This was the first book written by a man that I have read in years, a white man no less, yet it was like a constant slap in the face reminding me to check my privilege and my biases shaped by the white patriarchy. There is a distinct reason why I keep feeding myself femme authors, particularly authors of color, and yet Nic’s writing style drew out of me all the bullshit that I still carry around with me through this world. It was a delight and it was refreshing, but the story line itself I found lacking. I can see the setup for a sequel and I’m not sure I’m dedicated enough to pick it up.
