This is a great book for people who like queer high fantasy with no diversity. It is basically Lord of the Rings level of whiteness.
The worldbuilding is oftentimes confusing, complete with plenty of fantasy names that will have you scratching your head trying to keep up. Zavrius has the power of… I don’t know… lute harp magic (???), which none of the other magical people have. Weirdly convenient and fitting.
There are some lovable side characters and decent fight scenes. I actually did enjoy Zavrius’s plot development in the end. But I probably won’t read the sequels in this series.
