Trintheon is a fast-paced story in another world situation with strong characters. The story consumed me and I had a hard time pulling myself out of the book. The world is fascinating. I was gripped at first learning about the society and I found myself enjoying the story more and more as the world they dwell in unraveled.
The characters are believable, lovable and, at times, scary.
My favorite character was Nithya, who is honest and somewhat selfish. She has a good sense of self-control and modesty, but she can be greedy or overreaching at times. Some people may not like that, but I thought it was refreshing. Unlike characters in many novels, she suffers from real human flaws, not just being insecure about her appearance or other cliché heroine character flaws.
I also loved Krenshaw. He wasn't an outwardly heroic character but he did what he did to help. He was quietly protective, and he truly believes in Nithya’s courage and strength. It made him a refreshing, and engaging male protagonist.
The characters were just magnificent. I'd say M Guy’s strong suit as an author lies in her ability to create likeable and believable characters. The side characters were all well thought out, with unique and realistic personalities.
There is always something going on that drives the plot forward. I never felt bored or like it was a struggle to keep reading. When the plot began to slow down, there was always something new to pick it up: rivalry between characters, relationship tension, or a revelation. It all built up to a climax that made me feel like I was in an epic blockbuster film.
The author spins a tale we think we've heard before - a world torn apart by a destructive force - society is rebuilt, but more savage and brutal than before. But there the similarities end and the world M Guy spins is rich and original. The author doesn't fully reveal or explain things, but the richness of the little details she puts into the story makes me believe she knows the answers, she's just not fully explaining them to us.
I look forward to the next book in the series and strongly recommend this one.
