Three Acts of Penance

review 1: So here is a young author at the other at the other end of the Fantasy spectrum. No surprises in the story, rather simplistic writing, no twists in the tail and no science behind the magic. You might be tempted to thisn this makes for a rather boring tale but its anything but. There is always something beautiful about simplicity and this is a total case in point. Night takes you into his world with effortless ease and you can't help but wish for more. Characters are nicely crafted and Racath's POV is very well balanced. Book 2 is not too far away so waiting with anticipation.
review 2: Starting out this book, I'm not gonna lie, was a bit difficult. The wording was very... flowery. I don't mind flowery writing, but it was more the fact that the author wrote as i... moref I already knew what was going on. But it only took me the first few chapters to get a grip on the story and Racath's character, which is absolutely fantastic by the way. I loved the progression of the story, and the way you incorporated the narrator of the story. (VERY clever on your part Night! ;] ) The chemistry between your characters was great, and I liked that the characters actually acted their age in certain situations. remembering that the main character is only 19 years old can be difficult (take it from a fellow writer) and putting in situations where he actually acts like a teenager is important, which is exactly what you did. But that doesn't go without saying that Racath and Co. were total beasts at certain points! I'm not afraid to admit that is stayed up late multiple nights telling myself, "Just one more chapter..." Now that being said, I feel that at certain occasions... the book might have been a bit TOO wordy. Too many adjectives, or just too many words in general... (Begin the eye roll because I'm writing a review on a BOOK) It didn't happen often, but a few times I felt as if the descriptions and sentences dragged on a bit. That was in though. That was the only thing I felt I needed to comment on. Over all I seriously enjoyed reading this book and will most definitely be reading it again in the future. Thanks for the great read! I await the next book fauling eagerly! less
