Odriel's Heirs by Hayley Reese Chow
5.0
Sometimes I give five stars because I can’t find any reason not to, but this time I did because I cannot give more.
Chow’s world building is exquisite, with influences deftly woven into a tapestry all her own. The prose is often poetic, striking that perfect balance of just enough description to keep the setting vivid but also not painting every detail for me.
Some of the fight scenes stalled for me, but I think it’s a personal preference, and no condition of Chow’s skill.
What a story she’s set into motion, and I’m eager to see where she takes it next.
