The Second edition of L.L. Macrae's debut novel was excellent!
This is debut writing at it's finest. The plot, while it wasn't the most complicated in the fantasy genre allowed Macrae to stretch her character and worldbuilding abilities creating an addicting land.
As the reader we are introduced to a multitude of creatures which build the world seamlessly through their stories, layering personal and past history throughout the text.
If you are a character or worldbuilding driven reader, you will feel at home in the world of Linaria. Not to mention, do you like .. air ships, sassy, morally grey pirates and dragons? Count. Me. In.
Moroda was extremely approachable for new readers of fantasy but had enough for those a little more seasoned to be entertained. I cannot wait to carry on with book two sooner rather than later!
