A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft

2.0

I saw this being described as a fanfiction of Full Metal Alchemist, and while absolutely true in plot and tropes and even most world-building.... you know what makes fanfiction so good? The fact that I care about said world, and even more importantly, about the characters already.

This book did not convince me to care enough about its content, and I'm feeling generous in saying it is a 2.5 thanks all to its writing style. It felt very trope-y but without any substance, so I have not enjoyed this half as much as I hoped I would.
