![]() ![]() ![]() The Stormwing sat on a low wooden perch like a king on his throne. Sorry if it comes off mean but I'm trying to be honest here. I can't tell if her writing style vastly improved for those books, or if I missed the flaws because I was listening by audio and that gives a different effect. I hope this doesn't ruin my enjoyment of those more recent books. Sure, it was interesting at times, it's not all bad, but it mostly felt like a slog through a story I just wanted to complete so I could have background for completing the Keladry arc, which I am halfway through. ![]() At times it makes me cringe- chaotic and uneven world building, with underdeveloped and cliche mythology in some places, as well as treatments of race and romantic relationships (power dynamics) that I feel uncomfortable with. Oddly I absolutely loved the first Keladry book, and found the second one pretty pleasing as well, but have so far been dissatisfied with the rest of this authors writing, to the point of wondering why she is so famous and appreciated. I mostly only read this series to get backstory on the Keladry arc in the same universe (Tortall). ![]()
