She is the one who saw the depravity of the world, and has only known pain and killing. However, it helps to have him as a side character, as the dive into Csorwe’s personal growth is where we derive the most horror. I won’t lie, I imagined Robert Aramayo from “Rings of Power ” and never looked back. In a parallel universe, there is a book following the hot headed young man. Csorwe is so unused to impulses that we are given a stark look at the over-dramatic Talasseres. Despite everything else, they act and remain young. One of the highlights is the Trio of Trouble – Csorwe, Shuthmili, and Talasseres Charossa. If you are not used to this, the prose will feel off-kilter.

But Larkwood channels the uneasy sensation of time distortion, and the audience, just like Csorwe, are part of the larger picture. In another setting, I would say it’s a coming of age story, young adult even. In this sweeping epic fantasy, we are introduced to not a world, not a solar system, but a wide spread universe of intrigue and questioning faith. At first, it was a light drizzle of flavor with a hint of necromantic austerity its protagonist disassociating from the bizarre and traumatic life that she possesses.
