While The Dark Remains by Joanna Ruth Meyer
adventurous
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
4.75
rating is a solid 4.75 stars.
I got this book as one of my First Reads.
I'm kind of new to fantasy, but with books like this, I'm rapidly becoming a big fan.
While the Dark Remains grabbed my attention and kept it throughout. It drew me into the world it created, and put me side-by-side with the characters.
It was paced well, and even the swtiching from one time frame to another was well handled, so as not to be disruptive or confusing.
I took some points away because as the story unfolded, Saga really began to grate on my nerves; I gave them back for the jaw-dropping twist near the end! Any book that can shock me so much I have to put the book down--and then re-read to make sure I got it right--is a good book.
The only reason I didn't give this a five-star rating is that while I was caught up in the story, I was able to put it down to do something else (knowing that I'd come back to it).
I would definitely read other books by this author, especially a continuation of this story.
