It felt like I was re-reading a favourite book I’d forgotten about. It felt so familiar, you can tell where James takes inspiration from other fantasy epics.
It still felt original and was pretty fast-paced for its length. There wasn’t a single boring chapter.
I really enjoyed it and will continue with the series.

Actually have no idea if I finished this book. unremarkable I guess.

It was a fast paced read with a complex story but also a tad too simply written at parts. A glossary of terms/characters would have gone a long way, but I enjoyed the story and will most likely read book 2!

4.5-4.75 don't even know how to write a review. my mind is still spinning. insane plot twists. the characters were easy to like. my only qualm is there were so many names and people groups that l'd often get confused. I need to go read the wiki, but l'm definitely reading the next one.
