I feel like I'm in the 1% that actually enjoyed the book. But at the same time, what's not to love?
The attention to detail towards history and descriptions In general. Kristoff drew the picture and I was still able to follow. Although there's some repetitive words/descriptions but overall he did his research/poured a lot of sleepless nights into the details of the background. Not to forget the seamless blending of mythical creatures with what feels very 21st century-ish, I mean, we have no chainsaw katanas (sadly) but the description of pollution and Revolution and corruption and sciency diency felt very modern = relatable. The biggest whoooooo of the entire book is Buruu. L o v e him.
The only reason this doesn't receive a 5 star is because certain plot points felt very been there, done that

Your kind are blind. You see only the now, never the will be.
Dying is easy. Anyone can throw themselves onto the pure and rest a happy martyr. Enduring the suffering that comes with sacrifice is the real test

I couldn't ever find anything to relate to, so I lost interest & just skimmed through.
For all intents and purposes this is a good story. It just wasn’t for me. I LOVED Jay’s Nevernight series and I CANNOT wait for the last book in that trilogy! I was hoping that this story would hook me just as deeply, but it didn’t. I just didn’t seem to connect as well with these characters.
