Set Sytes
Publishing Date: 2023
Genre: Fantasy
Rating: 3.2/5
Review: I love this series, mainly for the grand escape into the fantasy realm of thee caribbean where quests abound. The characters are always well developed and evolve to suit their circumstances. This installment fell a little flat in comparison to those before.
The constant proselytizing rhetoric was just too much. We all agree that quite a few instances in our collective history were really bad. However, as much as everyone can agree on those repugnant instances, it should not give a writer license to belabor the crimes as to pull down the story line with cloying narrative. This series has always been really good at defining the space between entertainment and the rigors of life. The harsh realities of India's particular life are used as a tool to enhance the novel in a myriad of ways. You use it, the story moves forward yada yada. You don't grind your reader under the anvil with pointed dialogue that is consistent and unrelenting.
Entertain me. Don't point fingers.
