Abraham’s writing makes this otherwise conventional and almost stolid story stand out. That said, judging by the Long Price Quartet, reading the latter parts of the series will likely retroactively increase my appreciation of this novel.
I got about 20% into this book. I was intrigued by the synopsis and was extremely excited to receive and read this book early as I heard about someone else talking about it on youtube. They hoped to be able to read this as well and I knew I just had to read it. Now, when I read I tend to hyper focus. I can't stop reading. This one was not jiving with me unfortunately. At this point in time I am going to DNF this book. But I would like to try again at a later date to see if maybe, in the near future, I might be able to "get into it" more.

It was good, but not captivating. More like the book you read between the last one and the next one, to pass the time. Perhaps the series will pick up.
Who’da thought my fave character in this gem would emerge from near obscurity, so gradually, the way that they did….I honestly can’t believe it. Very unique tale.

Loved everything about this book. The pacing was excellent and the character development was outstanding. This is my kind of book and I’m sure the sequel and a reread will elevate the score.
