What in the pit?!!
I can’t believe this is over! I know there’s two more books (thank Adom for completed series) but I didn’t want it to end!
(also, meet my new favourite expletive: pit, no more ‘hell’ or ‘fuck’ or ‘heck’ etc)
STRENGTHS:
1. Characterisation (stellar work)
2. Magic system (powder mages, Privilegeds, predii – love the concepts)
3. World-building (I only know two gods so far and not much about other lands except Kez but it was enough whet my appetite)
4. Plotting
5. Writing
6. Themes (won’t say much for now because I feel like I need a wider scope)
7. That cover
WEAKNESSES:
1. That one character who died - you'll know which one - shouldn't have died (won't name them because of spoilers)
