"And one day, you'll see. Life is more than just fixing your past mistakes."
Great!
I've read cozy mysteries (which are not so cozy, by the way) but cozy fantasy is a different genre. I like it.
The world of Dargath/Necropolis is rich and detailed. The characters colorful and dark. The themes of redemption (Rottgor to Razgaif and Tytli), love (Razgaif and Astra), hate (Vom and the Light of the Chosen), and power are explored quite beautifully in this story.
The strength of this book lies in the fact that it's not a traditional fantasy story where people are fighting dragons or monsters or ice zombies. It is very character driven and it does very well in that department.
The descriptions are exquisite, be it food, city landscapes, architecture, clothes, anatomy, color of the sky.
Only thing I maybe didn't like too much was the confrontation with Vom. It just felt... a little off to me. The dialogue. The pacing. But that was just one part of one chapter and it was more than made up with that Tytli scene in the same chapter.
Recommended. 👍
Especially if you're looking for a different kind of fantasy.
