Girl, you haven’t even slept with him, tone it down a bit until you find out if every bit of him is magical. Bajo mi percepción me ha parecido el habitual primer tomo introductorio en el que presentan el tablero de juego, los participantes y el tono que tendrá a grandes rasgos la historia y su trama. I would highly recommend this fantasy novel to anyone looking for a solid new fantasy story with a fantastic magic system.

Both of these can get her in a lot of trouble if she isn’t careful…Also, what the hell is with the “I could be Lady Grappo”-sh*t? I have a bit mixed feelings about this book so let's go through what I enjoyed and then what I felt conflicted about.only to have more and more inexplicable stuff happen as the story progresses, until around the halfway point of the game you're killing little grey men and brain-sucker monsters (Lovecraft).

But it definitely feels bloated through the middle, dragging on the pacing and not giving us enough depth in the characterization. The author did a very good job in steadily pacing out the mystery reveals to keep the pacing of the story going. THE EXCEPTION to this is at the very end of the story, when you have all the perspectives finish at a high point to make a memorable climax. In some ways it was pure Brian McClellan, but it also held a lot of surprises, and alas, some disappointments as well.I hope in future books the author explores the horror of this situation a little more, instead of just using the aesthetic to make cool monsters to fight against.

I would have liked if Demir and his primary antagonist- the genius enemy military tactician- had more interaction at the start.

The story feels unique and fresh, the world is well crafted, and the magic system - while a bit similar to some others I have read - was enjoyable. After his disgrace, he's not confident in his abilities to lead, so he recruits his old friends Kizzie and Baby Montego in his campaign of revenge. I am the greatest killer in this world,’ he declared, his voice rising as he spoke, his eyes taking on a terrifying fire. Talking with Breenen, you haven’t lived in the same spot for more than six months since you fled Holikan. As a result, a lot of this book takes place in a forge, involving cables, crucibles, hammers and manual labor.

In the Shadow of Lightning seems like a book that would be more enjoyable for those who haven't read many epic fantasy books yet.

They were well-matched—brawn versus speed—and the crowd was absolutely loving it as strikes fell, skin cracked, and blood spattered the sandy floor of the arena.
