Beneath the Citadel
by Destiny Soria
I really wanted to love this book, and while I don't think it was for me, I would recommend it to someone who enjoyed SIX OF CROWS. It took a little while to get into the story (the time line was a bit weird for me), but I did have a pretty good time reading it.
The concept, world, and lore were interesting and I would have loved to see them explored more. The pacing was pretty good, though slow for the most part, with dramatic scenes and action peppered throughout. It took some time, but I slowly connected with some of the characters. The only one who kind of irked me was Cassa. She was a little too devil-may-care, and she made a baffling choice at the end that I literally did not understand in the slightest, even after re-reading.
For some reason, whether it was the characters or the slow pacing, or that final decision, I just couldn't click with the story as much as I wanted to. Again, I think this is a case of wrong book, wrong reader. It's beautifully written and has some tender moments, so I would offer it to anyone who enjoys SIX OF CROWS and character drama!
