Ichor by Trish D.W

dark tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

This is an intro book to a series. There's a lot of exposition throughout the entirety of the book about who the main characters are and the prophecy that awaits our main character throughout  that it's hard to treat it like anything else honestly. And it makes sense, really; there are other books in the series that are--hopefully--going to further the FMC's (leaving her unnamed just because it's an important aspect of her character identity and a somewhat major plot point of the book so it's considered a spoiler) journey as she grapples with the fact that she might be used to help the big bad in the book cause unimaginable chaos...or quite the opposite...but it is something that she's going to have to choose. But the book was more-ish in a way that I can't explain, so much so that I read the entire forty-two chapters (1 through 41 + the epilogue) in an entire day because I couldn't put it down, which is why---despite it being a major exposition dump for the first book--I can't give it less than a 3.5 despite some aspects irritating me a little lmao.
