I think I’m not who this book is written for. I agree with the general statement the book wants to get across. However I found myself wanting to see it challenged, which you could argue means I missed the entire point of the book!

The book is comfy, cozy, warm. It will not go any deeper than the surface.

I think “Psalm for the Wild-Built” was significantly better than “Prayer for the Crown-shy” and worth a read, it felt focused and I enjoyed seeing dex struggle with his feelings

Which I think is why “Prayer for the Crown-Shy” was so frustrating because it felt like the main duo regressed and I’m now just reading an almost worse version of what I just read

Been loving the series so far. I think if you reach this book, Brandon is expecting you to be in it for the long haul and really takes his time to do some world building. It does get a little slow and there are times when the direction of the story is a little uncertain, however it has a very strong ending.

We always love more Lift, I think if I didn’t read this I might be confused going into the third book of the stormlight archives since a good chunk of character development happens in this one, luckily it is accompanied by a great story.

Amazing world building in this book. Despite the reader learning about this world and its rules as the mystery went on, each clue or motivation never felt fabricated for the plot, rather it felt like a natural conclusion given what we were told. The Detective Duo is very unique in their abilities and their constraints.

I will admit that this might have been one of the more involved reads I have taken, nothing terrible just the first book in a while, where I had to look up some words for to make sure I understand what was being said. Always great to expand vocabulary.

Good story that helps expand the universe!
