First Rider's Call by Kristen Britain
adventurous
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I loved this! This is quite a hefty book page-wise, but I flew through it so quickly, it could’ve been only 400 pages long.
Even though there’s an overarching plot in this series, the first and second book both feel like they’re each telling a story which is relatively contained in itself. I quite enjoy this, because it makes it easier for people who read these books shortly after release and who then had to wait quite a few years for the sequels.
I liked this book quite a bit more than the first one and I can’t wait to read book 3! I would love to read it right now, but I have to prioritise other books first, unfortunately.
My main criticism is that most of the issues in this book seemed to be resolved way too easily. Whenever the main character was in immediate danger, the situation was resolved before I could even think, “How is the character gonna get out of this?”. This wasn’t the case ALL the time, but it happened quite often and it was definitely noticeable enough to start bothering me.
I really enjoyed learning more about the world, its history, and its magic. I’m excited to see, how this story is gonna progress in the following instalments, especially considering that this is already a relatively lengthy series that isn’t even finished as of writing this.
There’s also a bit of a romance subplot in this book that I actually enjoyed quite a lot, because it’s just that. A subplot. It never overtakes the rest of the story. I wish all books could be like this. I can’t wait to see where we’re gonna go from here, considering how the two involved characters left off at the end.
