Transformation by Carol Berg
5.0
This is the second time I’ve read this book. The first time I read it, I was loved the story so much! My favorite character was and still is Aleksander! I loved his change from arrogant, spoiled prince to sincere, humbled man who was more deserving of the title emperor.
The second time, I was more critical of the book. There are some gaps in the world building. I couldn’t fully picture the demons. When you are dealing with the heinous world of slavery and cultural domination, it was hard to switch gears and see that demons are also a very real threat. The former felt more physical and real to me. Also, the wings and other magical parts didn’t feel as well integrated into the story as the other elements— like the empire’s subjects and politics.
A great read! I recommend it to anyone who is looking fora different read about strong male friendships and/or empires.
