The Saint's Rise by Michael John Grist

5.0

Heavy fantasy

This book was a serious undertaking to read. Honestly, the first half had me considering putting the book down for good. But I’m glad I finished. This book is packed to the gills with action and detailed fantastical creatures, environments, and creation theories. I felt a bit like I was wading through thick soup at times, trying to understand the complex ideas. But i am satisfied overall with the novel, its plot, and the conclusion. And I can say that I can’t think of any way to improve upon the writing.
