Wowowoowoww what an entry into an epic fantasy series
I couldn’t put this one down. I listened to the audio and absolutely binged it and I would’ve done with same with the physical book. Wish I had the physical to follow along in some parts with the audio for a more immersive experience.
It took about 40% for all the characters and points of view to come together for me. I really liked that some of the POVs started overlapping and getting to know each other. Outside of keeping the character and kingdoms names straight, the realm and world building was very easy to follow especially as it draws on biblical allegory and imagery (I really liked that aspect)
I’m very glad I started this as a bookclub read. Having others to ask questions of was really helpful as all the characters were still being introduced in the beginning. I’m planning to keep going straight through, or as straight through as I can. What a book, I’m officially hooked on this series.
