ebut novels are always a hit or miss and thank goodness for a hit, especially for a fantasy book. I’m so tired of picking up fantasy books and having to DNF for rambling or just not editing out the unnecessary bits, it was refreshing to get something straightforward, fast, while still completely retaining a flow and giving ample imagery.  The authour writes pure poetry and evokes all the things you want out of reading a book. The fight scenes felt like when you watch a really epic fight scene on screen that’s choreographed so well you can only utter “wow.” He blends my favourite parts of other genres in his writing and I would be really interested to see this authour delve into more genres. High fantasy isn’t always my favourite but Wunderlin has me reconsidering that stance. Also a badass female character that doesn’t make me feel frustrated by tropes. Plus an unbelievably loveable character in Luc that evokes the best of characters like Jaskier or Hopper, GIVE ME MORE LUC! I know this just came out but I already want the second book
