Nov 16, 2021This is a solid adventure story with a fairly interesting main character and conflict. The foundations of this world that are set in this volume really make me want to keep exploring and learning more. The author inserted informational pages at the beginning of each chapter, and these really help explain some of the things that are important in the main action of the storyline. These are also helpful because there isn't much in the way of explanation in the story itself, including some of the words or phrases that are spoken in the language of the people of Elu. The feel of the story reminds me very much of Children of Blood and Bone where there are people with forbidden magic and a journey our heroine needs to undertake. This would also be good for fans who want more Shuri comics or books, and have run out. This would also be a good choice for fans of Avatar or The Legend of Korra. Read Full Review
