The Thousand Names by Django Wexler
3.0
3.5*
One thing I love about epic fantasy is once the scene is set you get hooked in so much more than a standalone rom com in my opinion.
It did take me a while to get into this one and I found the names and places initially quite confusing. A few times I happily skimmed some pages and ultimately it didn’t cover that much in such a long book but it was well written and the characters were believable and well developed so definitely enjoyed it overall.
The only other concern I had was the plot ‘twist’ of Jen being a spy which was a bit predictable completely undermined her moment of ‘not being able to go through with it’ I suppose this could be a moment of vulnerability she said she faked but it was theoretically as Marcus was pretty much asleep anyway. She also turned pretty animalistic and aggressive pretty quickly in the fight at the end so I feel like either there should have been hints of this earlier or hints of her softness later. It just felt a bit too 180 to me.
