The Revelation of Light and Dark

Well, ads, ya'll turned me. I will admit I only read this because I saw ads, but it ended up being a pleasant surprise! The story is written well and it has the structure of a to-be great series which I am excited to follow up with. The one minor pitfall is the slightly slow start. Usually I'm cool with slow-starts if they're done well...not every book would make sense jumping into action right away, and slow-starts can be done very well. This one just didn't hook me as much as I hoped. But in no way did that mean I was going to stop reading, because I loved the idea and characters. And I was rewarded with my patience - there's so much going on, yet it is done well, and I'm in awe of Bennett's world-building and characterization. So, thank you ads! Officially ready for #2 even though this one JUST came out!
