Pacing
The books in this series are relatively short and very easy to read. That doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the story at all in my opinion though.
Worldbuilding
This one definitely gives me a strong D&D vibe in a new world setting! I really have enjoyed the world building by the author. And the story is fresh enough to keep entertaining me.
Character Development
The character development through books one and two have been done very well so far. The story has been exciting. Even though we've lost some great supporting characters already and there might be a few characters throughout that are rather annoying it really just adds to the overall story.
Closing
The ending of this book did seem just a little abrupt and left a couple of things as a mystery for me. But the very end and epilogue were both great. We lost a beloved supporting character and find out just a bit more of what might be to come in the next installment. Things are not about to get any easier for our protagonists from what I see!
I'm looking forward to the next installment!
