Clocking in at 700 pages, it felt like a marathon rather than a page-turner🥵 While the world-building is rich and immersive, it often crosses the line into excessive detail. Descriptions of places and events are so drawn out that it slows the pace to a crawl, making the reading experience feel more like a chore than an adventure.
The writing sometimes underestimates the reader’s ability to connect the dots, over-explaining instead of allowing space for imagination and inference. Cutting 300–400 pages would have made the story tighter and more impactful.
That said, the core of the story is undeniably intriguing. JoaquÃn Rosa continues to be a compelling character, and the mystery of Death-Cast remains as captivating as ever 💀 There’s a lot to appreciate here—if you have the patience for it.
This book could’ve been a five-star read with a sharper edit. Still, for fans of the Death-Cast universe, there’s plenty to sink your teeth into. Until next book.
