Reviews

[Zoe Thomson · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Roots of Chaos series by Samantha Shannon is by far one of the most well-structured and thought-out fantasy series I've ever read. The world-building is once in a lifetime. Tolkien-level intricate, with cultures and language weaving together with plot and mapping. It's 100% fantasy, but its characters, religion and world events feel like history itself. I love the interconnectedness of it all. How each culture has to come together again and again to save the world, and the differing perspectives on certain things that arise from those conflicting ways of life. And how balance itself is the basis of the story. She puts you in this world, and then leads you by the hand through it until you feel like you've been there all your life. However, because she's mastered making this world feel like reality, it does take a normal person at least 100 pages to figure out what on Earth's going on. That and how the timeline isn't really explained are my only criticisms.
All in all a 3 part series that just keeps adding to the phenomenal world-building, historical events and its legendary characters.
