A review by rmarcher
Circle of Shadows by Evelyn Skye

4.0

The worldbuilding in this book is excellent. It was fascinating to dive into, and usually well-displayed. The characters were all well-developed and I liked them a lot (Empress Aki and Daemon were particularly awesome). The writing did seem to lean more toward the "telling" side of "show vs. tell," which was rather disappointing. :/

Also, my ship was brutally attacked and I'm not happy about it. Daemon's emotions didn't seem adequately resolved, so it left a bitter taste in my mouth even though my ship was never actually official.

Anyway, other than those couple of qualms I really enjoyed this book, and I'm excited to read the sequel once I've had some time to get over how those relationships worked out.
