A disappointment
Thought that I’d try a new author, but was disappointed. Whilst there are complications in the plot, they’re solved in an instant. There’s no real development or depth to characters; their actions are predictable. The text lacks vivid description - of setting, characters, narrative, . . . It’s bland.
If you’re looking to read something that traps you inside its world and grabs at your emotions and imagination, my recommendation is that you try Anthony Ryan or Mark Lawrence.
