I love how the intricate magic system raises the stakes !

Three chapters in the Catenan Republic in a row ! 😮‍💨 I stopped just before the universe switched.

I can't stand the universe switching every 2 chapters 😮‍💨. The first book was so good though !

“ The illusion of power too often becomes power, my father used to say. I cannot let Ulciscor believe he has even the faintest remaining hold over me.”
“Easier to despise than understand. Easier to mock than empathise.”
When he is not describing parallel universes James Islington does an incredible job of writing high fantasy.

..... I still don't like parallel universes 😭😭

...I have never been a fan of the concept of parallel universe....

“Fear, my father once told me, is simply our realisation of a lack of control.”
I love how the opening line is an universal quote !
