Political intrigue and a beautifully crafted world. If you like this book, you’d love Amina Al sarafi

A slow burn build up. Action dispersed throughout the book. Colton and tram are coming to obstacles and realizing the prophetess might not have their best interest at heart.

Damn. The movies are the best adaptation i think ive experienced.. aside from the lack of Tom..

I feel like almost everyone who’s going on an epic journey of discovery and fantasy should start here. The world is vast. The language is not that hard to understand and I feel like it will give somebody a good enriching experience without overwhelming people so much with magic systems and multiple points of view. I’m about halfway in and really enjoying it. Can’t wait for the movies in December.

The story is fluid. However, it’s lacking depth. I feel no real connection to the characters and I’m seeing almost all male characters as predatory or having these uncontrollable urges to take what they can conquer, thus giving way to their timely murders. It is my deepest hope v. Schwab does not see all males as these types of people who just take what they want.

There’s definitely something familiar about this story, but being told from three different perspectives and alternate timelines is keeping me captivated enough. My only qualm is I don’t see the plot other than the fact that these three characters are just living their life how they want to live it.

The pacing is good. Like any series that has more than three, you have to achieve a balance with story and plot development. This book is acting as a bridge, tying up loose ends and developing the story with the character and the direction in which they are going.

As far as I’m concerned, this is turning out to be more of an espionage novel with a little bit more weird sci-fi elements than whore or cosmological horror still not fully invested, but enjoying the story for what it’s worth

Already loving the world. Having just finished the reread and jumping back in right away has kept the energy moving. I got to meet Chris last night and am just energized for what he is going with this series.

As things come to a standstill the son of the prophet’s and his band of merry pirates must come back together to regroup and organize. Political maneuvering and diplomatic chess is being played in order to see the game on the attack.

Still getting going. Setting this story up nicely. Not too fast and just enough to keep me intrigued. The superseding is some of my favorite parts of the book

Fast paced. Easy to get into. Oceans eleven meets inglorious bastards.

This is turning out to be one of my favorite books to read this year. It’s beauty is written in the story the characters the setting all put together a fantastic image movie playing in my head.

Great to be back in the world of Abercrombie, referencing some of the characters that you read during the books and then seen them have their own storyline is fantastic
