“Barak,” our father began, placing a hand upon his head. “Wielder of Righteousness and Consequence. I trust you to deal justice without hesitation.”
“Libin, Wielder of Honor and Truth. Only your heart can see beyond prejudice or expectation.”
“Alwin, Wielder of Justice and Impartiality. The balance of Truth and Righteousness lies in your heart.”
I gave this a 3 star review, mostly because it was short. The notes mention it is a full novel at 52k words, but that' s a short novel: it should be closer to 80k. (Yes, 40k is the break for a novella, but readers are expecting a bit more....)
The real issue comes with character and relationship development. While Eve, the FMC, is reasonably well developed, the 3 men are not, and their relationship definitely is not. Her powers are glossed over until suddenly she's saving the world (euphemism, not a spoiler). There is simply no way you can fully develop something like that in only 52k words.
Otherwise, the writing was well done, as well as the explanation of the realms. I would love to see the author rewrite this into a full novel, or even a series. The basic storyline deserves it.
