  • What does your StoryGraph say about you?

    Mine says: Mainly reads fiction books that are adventurous, emotional, and dark. Typically chooses medium-paced books that are 300-499 pages long

    And I’d say that’s pretty accurate lol. What does your say? Any surprises? Anyone twinning? 👀

    I really loved the flow of this novel. Baldree's writing is in ways elaborate and descriptive, but doesn't dally or waste any words needlessly.

    I found all the characters incredibly loveable and distinct and I'm really excited to read any other books in this universe!

    A really fun palate cleanser type of book~

    My first and only 5 star...

    ... From the first two quarters of 2025.

    The nature of my memory makes it difficult for things I'm reading to really stick with me unless it was truly compelling. And this novel was truly compelling.

    I felt every range of emotion throughout it and felt those feelings for a while after and honestly wouldn't change a thing about it or want it to be any longer or any shorter, outside of something that'd maybe elaborate on the magic system and the worldbuilding.

    I'm honestly so pleased at how easy it is to read this book. I feel like I've been in a weird cycle of reading books that feel either too lore heavy, cerebral or esoteric and this is just a really really nice palate cleanser.

    I enjoyed the writing style and world building for the most part, but between the jumping back and forth from present and past and trying to keep things connected in my mind, I had a hard time keeping track of events and characters and intentions.

    By the end, I understood what had happened, but I wasn't quite sure what to do with any of it.

    As things are, if I had to describe what reading this book is like, it’s kind of a niche analogy, but it’s as if I’d caught a D&D/TTRPG actual play stream mid-campaign, where all the characters have been through stuff and are actively in a story arc with lore so deep, they’re comfortably using words I have no context for and therefore don’t understand very much that reference a prior experiences, but it’s an episode so late in the campaign, it’s not worth watching back. And like, I’m enjoying a lot of the pieces, but it’s hard to say that I’m thoroughly enjoying it as a whole.

    That’s how I feel about it at this point, anyways.
