Review Detail

The world-building in this book was evident from the very beginning of the story and very interesting. I was impressed with both the writing and the creation of the world from the first pages. The mystery of the world and the story engrossing the reader and brings intrigue to the experience of reading it. These aspects are really where this book shone. The mystery of the story was really well-done, letting loose just the right pieces of information at the right times. It led the reader to the answers without being obvious or too obscure. There were times when the action of the story lagged, but interest in the world and in the overall story kept me engaged in the book. If I had one complaint with the book it would be that I did not feel connected to any of the characters. I liked them and disliked them as I was supposed to based on their place in the story, but they were not as memorable as I would have liked them to be for such a unique and beautiful story. That being said, the world and the writing were amazing in and of themselves and this story soared even without characters that I connected with.
If you're looking for a book with beautiful writing and totally unique and creative world-building, I suggest picking up this book. It definitely won't disappoint.
