Not only something new for Cisco, but new in fantasy.The world-building is on the level you’d expect from a novel twice it’s length, but he manages to convey the fabric of the world effortlessly. There’s history, and depth to it, an extremely vibrant ecosystem, and different cultures that are all fleshed out well, without ever bogging down the narrative. There’s a lot I’d love to explore further (fingers crossed for future books) but nothing stood out as lacking where I felt in the dark about what was going on.The writing itself is beautiful, Cisco’s love of words is evident, and it was a delight to read. I rarely highlight passages but found myself loving so many sections I started highlighting them to save them.It’s hard to explain why but the whole thing felt very cinematic to me, I think it was the occasionally focusing in on a small detail to help set the scene, a mud puddle splashed through for instance. I could see it as the opening shot to establish weather/mood/location before the camera cut to what was happening. The pacing is a bit quicker than some other books as well, it gets going right away and you just can’t stop turning those pages!

My very first time reading a book by this author and I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging and entertaining this book was it exceeded my expectations on several occasions this will not be my last book by this author for a fact...

Good quality but wrong color , the gray its blue
