A Hallow of Storm and Ruin
by Ashley McLeo
Arc Review:
While the writing in A Hallow of Storm and Ruin has improved from the first two books, it’s still a slog at 700 pages. The pacing drags, and scenes often feel overly drawn out without enough payoff.
Some moments feel a little too familiar, like the giant spider Falagog falling from the ceiling and declaring she can’t stop her children from eating “food that walks into their home.” It’s hard not to be reminded of a certain Harry Potter scene, just with a few tweaks.
Despite better prose, the story leans too heavily on overused tropes and stretched-out moments. I won’t be continuing this series.
