Kalyna the Soothsayer by Elijah Kinch Spector
4.0
Overall, this was an interesting read and I quite enjoyed it! I would call it a 60-40 book. The first, maybe, 60% felt difficult to get into and then once I hit that last 40% I needed to know how it was all going to go down. Lol
I liked that the characters were older. I actually liked most of the characters in general. I liked the dry and sarcastic humor. I liked the world, although I definitely got mixed up with the various factions and territories. (Could be because I was listening to the audiobook - reading may give a different experience.)
One thing I found quite jarring was the world-building tangents that came up mid-action and the occasional times the reader is basically addressed with Kalyna specifically explaining something to the reader.
Otherwise, looking forward to reading Book 2 in 2024.
