This was a beautifully written and atmospheric read, with a story that felt both unique and timely. The environmental themes were woven in seamlessly, and the concept itself was compelling. However, I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something just felt… off for me. Maybe I wanted more depth in certain areas, or maybe I just didn’t connect with it as much as I hoped. That said, the writing was fantastic, and the story itself was intriguing. I enjoyed this.

Interesting

I have slogged through to get this far. I usually love me some fantasy, but I need _something_ to happen to move the book along. Just as soon as I started to like a character, they make a choice that I didn't like and it never seemed interesting or worth it. I'm out at 58%.

Strong main character , developing and showing personal reflection and growth

Relatable secondary characters (above & below)

Strong plot- hero's (self) journey, twists & satisfying ending... maybe speculative

Cohesive storyline, not predictable, with proper rise & fall, not confusing

Writing style enjoyable with good readability

Anticipating #2 in The Scorched Earth series, 'A Breathless Sky'.
