A Song of Legends Lost by M.H. Ayinde
3.75

A Song of Legends Lost is a new high fantasy with ancestral spirit magic, technology, and politics. The world building is unique and I was left wondering who is truly the enemy?? My unpopular opinion is that I simply didn't feel invested in or connected to the characters. While parts of the story were interesting, my interest wasn't truly piqued until the last 2 chapters. For a book that's 600+ pages, that's a lot to get through before feeling genuine interest. I didn't want to DNF it though because parts of the story were interesting at different times. I would've liked more explanation about how the tech and magic worked, but maybe that'll be for book two. I'm curious enough to continue the series as I really want to know more about the grey bloods and tech/magic.
