The Glass Breaks by A.J. Smith
2.0
The Glass Breaks provides an interesting story of political turmoil and warfare between the Sea Wolves, magic (wyrd) wielding pirates and the native Pure Ones, who have no magic and live in threat of the Sea Wolves power and brutality. The concept of travelling between two dimensions (form- which represents physical reality and void, which is an alternate dimension where magic exists and can be harnessed) kept my interest. I enjoyed learning more about the workings and development of the system itself and how each character uses there wyrd slightly unique to each other.
The story is told from the views of Duncan Greenfire and Adeline Brand. In the beginning Duncan is viewed as the weak son of a chief of the Sea Wolves, who's father has him subjected to a painful curse. He strives to find his identity and take hold of his chaotic power. Adeline is a self assured and aggressive duellist and is seen as a great asset to the Sea Wolves. Both characters have their own journeys and missions as they unravel the dark mystery that threatens their survival.
