The Immortal Prince
by Jennifer Fallon
Such a unique beautiful book.
It has world building (and the type I like, with both gods and magic, although at the early stages of magic); it has races other than humans (and the brutality of their creation is conveyed at its fullest); it has interesting characters (including their secrets that push the narrative).
It was so quirky in the first two thirds of the book. And then it suddenly became a much more serious affair.
I am struggling with the rating though. I really want to give it 5 stars because of the enjoyment and I felt that there is so much value (for a fantasy reader of my taste) in this book. Yet, am I giving it 5 stars out of gut feeling alone? I’ll think of it. If not 5 stars, it is a 4.5 stars for sure!
