Another book with “Trials” as trope but these do not come across as repetitive. They are more original, embedded in a murder mystery. This book is epic fantasy, so far no romance, no yearning nor pull being developed amongst characters. Pity .

This is an epic fantasy and there is not a trace of romantasy, but it’s innovative with creative world building and plenty of intrigue. I’m enjoying it but miss some spice and pull between the FMC and MMC.

The first 25 pages were quite heavy on world building and name dropping, but then I got in the flow and I'm really enjoying how layered the plot seems to be and several characters that seem intriguing. let's hope the depth continues.
