![]() ![]() Matt is an independent fantasy author, which I'm guessing means he had no editor. ![]() Even if I didn't know that he is an avid D&D player, I would have been able to guess based on this book. I like Matthew Colville, so it pains me to give this book such a poor rating. I expect it will be brilliant, yet I don't know if my poor heart can handle another emotional rollercoaster like this one. I don't honestly know if I can read the next book. I finished this a week ago and I'm still upset. Which is strange, usually I can spot that sort of thing coming a mile away and not be particularly bothered but the deaths here *angered* me. Worse, every single death actually made me mad. It plays itself as dark, brooding and angsty. ![]() If I had to categorize it, give it a specific niche, I'd say fantasy tragedy. ![]() I mean, it is so good: the characters are well developed, the plot is driven with plenty of twists and turns, and the settings are fantastic. Here's my problem (other than the book being on my phone and therefore not being able to throw it):Įvery single drop of happiness and joy that is potentially offered by this plot is sucked out and spat into a deep pit of hopelessness and despair. Never have I wanted to throw something so hard. ![]()
