Five Broken Blades by Mai Corland
4.25
adventurous medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

📚 So this is book 1 in a series that's not finished yet, just as an fyi, so the ending is a little bit cliffhanger-y. But it still manages to wrap up a bunch of the book's plot lines by the end of this book. It was an enjoyable action-adventure story set in a fantasy world.

🎧 1st person POV, multiple (6) perspectives/narrators. I really enjoyed everyone's performances.

🌶️ 1.5/5 There are a few vague references to sexual things having happened behind closed doors but there's nothing on page. 

🏳️‍🌈✊ The world of the book appears to be queer normative. 2 of the MMCs are together. The other MCs couple off m/f. The fantasy world is based in East Asian culture.
