A wild quest of a story that will leave you scrambling to make sense of a shocking end!
A Fallen Sword is exactly how you might expect a story propelled by random rolls of a dice to be - a bit chaotic in a fun way. The pacing at the beginning of the book was a tad slower, but once you cross the 30% of the story, the action and intrigue pick up.
The magic system is well laid out and complicated in the best way. So many times as I was reading, I thought to myself, "How the hell did Kaven come up with this?" While there were many characters, I thought they were represented well and given time to shine throughout the story.
Kaven's strength as a writer lies in the inner and outer dialogue between her characters. Her humor, wit, and ability to relay emotional distress in a way that's relatable is something she excels at.
I'll be anxiously waiting for book 2 (because that ending wtf) and hoping that our Mirevra girl finds the strength to break free of her invisible chains. And that a certain rogue helps her along the way.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
