This book didn't hit me like I had hoped. I've been diving into more fantasy lately since I'm slowly beginning to enjoy the genre (as a whole) more. This book seemed like the perfect fit and sounded like a fun ride. Unfortunately, the book didn't grab my attention all that well and it didn't interest me. The pace also didn't grab me, so I'm a little disappointed! This book has glowing reviews and I can tell why! It is well written and it has a cool story. I'm sad it just didn't grab me as a reader - but I am sure many other readers will love it!
The characters are a little odd. The already established relationships made me not enjoy their story as much. I wanted to see these characters fall in love, even if it was just a chapter worth of the back story. Then the characters just... drove me insane? Lem was annoying to me on all fronts. I didn't want to read his parts of the chapters at all. He didn't seem all that bright and made me want to throw the book against the wall or shred it.
I also felt like the plot and story jumped around a bit and didn't seem coherent (but I am also not a big fantasy reader so maybe that's a trope I'm just not used to?). The high fantasy style was also odd since it didn't necessarily feel like the genre it was going for. From the marketing and synopsis I thought this was going to be a fun Game of Thrones, Throne of Glass or other fantasy ride - but it felt more like a middle grade or YA novel fantasy that couldn't quite decide on what it wanted to me. I give this book the benefit of the doubt because it has such a cool premise and I did like Brian's writing style.
Overall, this book felt like a massive D&D campaign that fantasy lovers will enjoy. It's just not a book for me!
One out of five stars.
