I did not enjoy reading this book but I feel basically like bound to put it on this list because of how much I absolutely respect what it's doing it is different than almost anything else I have read in the genre its ambitious it is very well written for what it is going for but what it is going for is not exactly a pleasant read at least for me
holy sister I declare a masterpiece every possible plot thread is resolved exactly how I wanted it to be or not but in a better way than I thought it would be the writing itself is addictive
it's so action-packed it's so much fun there's hardly any space between the action here in this book that I think Rob accomplished exactly what he wanted to and never die is certainly worth a read for anyone who's really digging some good action scenes some interesting magic and honestly great character work as well
9th house by Leigh bardugo is a phenomenal occult fantasy book set in modern earth to the point where like IKEA and Yale will be mentioned and that's not typically a read I go for but I could not put this book down it was the type of reading experience where every time I stopped I was just kind of itching to pick it up once again
this one is a nice fantasy political thriller and for a first-time author quite the home run in a lot of ways
he made several bold choices and I enjoyed this book the characters are strong as ever it's just really the last maybe fifth of the book where I began to have some pretty strong problems with what Brent did with the end of his series
the dragon Republic was an excellent follow-up to the poppy war and the further I've gotten from it the more I have come to believe that it's actually better than the poppy war
the poppy war was a magnificent setup for this world and did have pretty significant climaxes towards the end and there was no lack of action by any stretch of the imagination
there's no lack of dragons there's no lack of violence there's no lack of character motivation there's no lack of suffering and failure it's brutal it's honest and it is a borderline masterpiece
it's so character focused with characters you don't typically follow in Western fantasy the dynamics are fresh the structure of the story's a bit different than what people are used to this is a bold effort from an author that landed well
