There were a few moments where I felt like the character motives were potentially a little bit plot driven, but overall I was really pleased with this read and I would recommend this for anybody who's looking for a standalone fantasy that has some really interesting worldbuing.
New Five Star Fantasy Reads This Month! Wrap Up
I think Shauna did an absolutely fantastic job with this genre and I would highly recommend this for anybody who enjoys reading historical fantasy.
It's not the deepest thing I've ever read, but I think that Kyla Stone did a phenomenal job hooking the reader into the story, providing sympathetic characters, and just running with it.
The Hodk is my favorite of the three so far, which was a lot of people's predictions. And I think a big part of that, and of course, I'm not going to give spoilers for the for this book if you haven't read the series, the reveals and some of the payoffs that we get in this book, I really feel are worth the time you spend with the characters.
I felt like the prologue promised a story that the rest of the book didn't necessarily deliver on. I did have a hard time connecting with some of the POV characters.
There were a few nitpicky things that I was like eh about with this book, but honestly, I'm just so excited that I liked it as much as I did. I really loved this book.
I hated this book. It was awful. I didn't like it.
This was, I would say, one of the most linear plot lines I have read within the City Watch books so far. I thought it was really well paced and the tension was great. There were some absolutely phenomenal character moments in this story.
I thought there were some really fantastic moments in this book and I definitely will be continuing with one of his other works probably ordinary grace. It was just that this book specifically leaned a little bit too heavily on content that I didn't love.
I absolutely loved this book. I loved it so much. I wanted to reread it the minute I put it down.
