<strong>Sky Pirates vs Wizards... Or is it?</strong>
"A Veil for the Vanguard" jumps right into it. Leading the main cast into a situation that could start war.
Very fast paced, it explains as it goes. There is a history it does dip into, but leaves some as a mystery for what I hope is to revealed in later additions to the series. The worldbuilding is layered and integrated into the character's motivations. It is very plot driven. Excellent cast of characters but emotions aren't their strong suit. It does rely a little on the chosen one trope, but the chosen hero can't do it on her own and quickly finds refuge within the airship crew who she was initially leary of.
The story had plenty of adventure and high stakes. It leans heavily on the mechanics of the airship used to travel around to the different regions and the crystals used for magic. Giving a wizards vs pirates vibe.
I read through it really quickly, and will be starting the next soon.
