farihaf 's review for:

Hero at the Fall by Alwyn Hamilton
4.5
adventurous lighthearted tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It was very enjoyable. The plot was different than usual, for a ya, and actually very good. the characters were a bit lacking
 Would've been even better if the main character did not have such plot armor. I wonder if it is a rule that the mc will always have to be stupid when they could choose not to be. She will not eliminate the 'tool' of the enemy but do mercy killing because 'morals'. Again, leave her comrade to die because its for 'the greater good' but not thinking through if letting your friends to die but not killing your enemies are morals.
Thus, my quest for a smart mc who is not burdened with 'oh so much morals' continues.
