nimmerling 's review for:

Hero at the Fall by Alwyn Hamilton
3.0

This is the first book of the series where I felt like the quick pace was a bit detrimental at times, especially towards the end some events could've used more room to breathe. Likewise, some of the problems and their rapid solutions lacked some build-up or impact... the whole Zaahir situation came and went and shifted so quickly and easily that it didn't really get me to take it very seriously, though it started out interesting.

That being said, I still had a good time with this book and the series as a whole! Liked the characters, liked the quick pace & action for the most part! Considering how easily I got through these after struggling through kind of a reading slump, I'm grateful for the fun ride this provided.
