The Providence of Fire by Brian Staveley

adventurous mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Alright....so here's the thing, all these characters are stupid. Like....I just need them to get on the phone, send a fucking pigeon, smoke signals, magical messenger something so they can all get on the same page. This whole book was a giant miscommunication between every single main character while secondary characters do things off page to actually effectuate change in the world. I didn't hate it, I just wanted more from this world and these characters. 

I think I will finish the trilogy but I don't think I'll continue in this world after the conclusion of the original trilogy.
