I think I’m bit late to the party but, my fault, got the date wrong. This is my stop of the rereading of the Chronicles of Elantra, a great fantasy series I just discovered last year.
This is the 5th book in the series and we learn about Kaylin’s past and how it relates to the present.
There’s a lot of world building in this story: we learn more about what the real name means to Dragon and Barrani, the relationship between the fief and their lords, the Towers and what they are.
I start to read the series last year but this book was a new one for me. I can say it’s a page turner I couldn’t put down and, even if relates to past events, it’s one you can comfortably read without too much knowledge of the world and the characters.
Mrs Sagara is a master storyteller and once you are hooked you cannot stop reading and following her characters.
The richness of the world building is amazing as she creates a universe with different races, lores and mythologies. It’s so rich and fascinating that you don’t want to stop reading and return to your everyday life.
The characters are well thought and I loved the Tower and I loved Tiamaris. I loved to learn about Kaylin’s past and how she lived in the fief of Barren.
It’s a book that I strongly recommend, it can be read as the first but it’s better to read the previous in the series.
An excellent and highly entertaining reading experience, highly recommended.
Many thanks to MIRA for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
