5.0
This is an inspired story: a weaving narrative of families warring, set in the backdrop of a fantasy world inspired by 80s martial arts films.
This was an expansive story told in a very concise way, with narratives quickly intertwining and linking together.
I particularly enjoyed the setting and the perspectives of Anden and Shea, who stood out as sympathetic and rounded characters, whose journeys I’m looking forward to picking up in the next book.
