- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
The author provided me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I'm choosing not to leave a star rating because I'm feeling a bit conflicted on how to rate this book.
Gemma writes beautifully. The descriptive text and scene setting paints a very vivid picture throughout. Although, at some points while reading, I thought that the descriptive quality took away from the storybuilding. The worldbuilding was interesting, and I appreciated the magical qualities of the world, but a lot of the information comes in large info dumps, whether through dialogue or excerpts from articles within the world itself, and it is a lot at once. I didn't feel particularly attached to our main character. Everything kind of happens to her, and she's just along for the ride. I also noticed a few inconsistencies or repetitions of phrases that I think could've been improved by editing. The story is fast and slow-paced at once. It seems the actual action happens very quickly - with long journeys in a matter of pages - but the scene setting and descriptions sometimes span the same length. The dragons are definitely awesome, and I did love their banter and connection to our MC.
Thank you again to the author for giving me a chance to read and review your book. I wish you success with this book and future endeavors.
