Wow...I devoured this in basically two sittings. Such a great read. Rin Chupeco has a great mind for writing interesting characters who have intriguing interactions with monstrous creatures. Also her world-building is great.

I had not one, but 2 audio books that I DNF'd before this so I was a lil worried I was burned out on audio books. Nah, I just needed to read something good. 

Thank god I read The Never Tilting World. I fell in love with this world almost instantly. I really liked the way the characters changed be it for good or bad. There was a descent into madness that was played really damn well that I haven't seen it before, along with a bunch of foreshadowing and reveals and it was so beautiful. 

I am excited to learn more of Chupeco's world. I picked this up intially because people were attacking Chupeco for some dumb thing on Twitter and ya know they are an amazing author. Loved every bit of this.

This is one of the best books I’ve read. I was hesitant going in because of mixed reviews but I was hooked within the first few chapters. The different POVs from the main characters are done so well! I’d have to say I definitely felt more engaged with the Aranth side of the story but both were amazing.  I can’t wait to read the second one.

i enjoyed this especially the end, however if i’m honest i was quite confused for most of the story, this might have been my fault as i read it via audiobook. The whole setup and storyline was so interesting to me and i am really looking forward to seeing how everything wraps up
