I really liked the concept of this book. But the execution fell a bit flat. The time jumps made the pacing of this book feel contrived, it was weird that the first half of the book takes place in 574 AD and then the second half literally skips 1,500 years. I wanted more from relationship between Cary’s and Gavriel, I wish time was spent getting to know them when they were talking through a well and gap between worlds. A lot of time is spent trying to world build and explain the plot, but very little is done to advance the plot.
