I came across Z.S.Diamanti on TikTok and was intrigued to learn more about his Stone & Sky fantasy series (the algorithm was algorithing!). I asked for and received signed copies of Stone & Sky as well as the Stone & Sky Preludes Collection for my birthday from a family member. The author remembered me mentioning it was for my birthday in a TikTok comment and wrote a personalized note telling me Happy Birthday! I certainly appreciated the care and attention to detail. Anywho! About this book- It truly is an epic fantasy adventure. I highly recommend tandem reading it along with the Preludes Collection. It makes the story so much richer. There are so many wonderful characters I came to know and love. Their stories are intricately woven together to create a tale of unlikely friendships. The most important thing to me as a reader is that authors “show, not tell” in the details. Z.S. Diamanti does this such an incredible job with this in his descriptive details, explanations, dialogue and more! I am so looking forward to reading his next book in this series- Stone & Tide. Well done!
