Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest opinion. This book is available now.
Epic in scale, this was a slow read for me. It took me a very long time to get all the way through. However, once I did, I ended up really enjoying it.
With this book, what stood out to me was the world-building. It was so incredibly creative! The setup of the geography was pretty cool. There were several islands within relatively close proximity, which made the timing more believable. I am a big fan of fantasy books that feature a journey of some sort because it allows for so many different kinds of encounters, so that was a win for me.
Climber’s buddy Jern was probably my favorite character. The relationship between the two was fun to read. I know I’ve mentioned in other posts that I don’t always like the main character, but I did enjoy Climber. It was good to read a main character that wasn’t a giant ball of angst.
The author was very judicious with his fight scenes. They were well-written, but they weren’t the crux of the story. I liked that he understood the fine balance between action and story. Many authors rely too much on one or the other.
I recommend this one to fantasy readers who don’t mind some slow set-up.
