A Wizard's Forge

This book was just ok for me. The plot and characters were nothing breathtaking as I found the story quite troopy and sometimes overexaggerating. The world building is done nicely but still remained a bit flat (It doesn't always have to be otherworldly breathtaking but describing a world like ours with just a few twists and emphasizing that it's not our world, bugs me a little bit). I didn't particularly like how the time flew... or rather jumped while characters remained mostly static. The “torture” is not as brutal as I tought it was going to be and it was more of psychological mind games to me than real torture itself.

The main character is so driven by a, for me, exaggerated reason and given her revenge, she was just average. Not the whiny, naive protagonist, I give her that, but also not groundbreaking. I liked other characters such as Latha more. Vic's thoughts are so irritating and made me hate her a quarter into the book.



I received this book as an e-arc from netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
