Where the Rain Cannot Reach
Doman's Despair #1
Scfi-fi & Fantasy
Adesina Brown
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
The start of the book was a little too slow for me. It made it hard for me to become completely engaged from the beginning. The pacing did improve but it did feel a little inconsistent.
The world building was ok. It was more detailed in some areas than others. I liked that this wasn't the typical humans vs the fae/other mythical creatures where the humans are the victims and being oppressed. In this book, the humans are just as dangerous and responsible for horrible things happening too.
The characters were ok. I didn't connect to any of them in particular but that may be because it didn't feel like there was much character growth.
I think this book has a lot of potential. While it isn't 100% for me, I can see that other people might enjoy it.
