    Is this one worth it? I’m already pretty annoyed by the FMC

    Honestly surprised at how highly this is rated. I can’t do it

    I enjoyed this one! I thought the pacing was fine. Not dying to read the following books but I had a good time.

    I’m listening to the audiobook which may make all the difference but I don’t understand the dislike of the pacing. I’m not obsessed by any means but I think the story moves well enough.

    I admit I could be easily impressed but I adore this series even more than The Drowning Empire. Stewart does a great job storytelling, had a couple of twists in there that surprised me. Yes the characters could be more nuanced but I understand their motivations. Ultimately 5 stars, captivating story and I’m excited to see what comes next

    Edit: I listened to the audio. Highly recommend.

    READ ME: Don’t forget to read The Drowning Faith after chapter 5!

    For maximum emotional damage, read The Drowning Faith after chapter 5 of The Burning God. It’s a very short novella from Nezha’s pov. The pdf is on Wordpress, if you google it you will find it.

    No matter how many times Kluehnn’s aspects are described I still can’t envision what they look like

    I love this series so far anyway but Thassir and his cats make it 1000 times better
