Review of 'Twelve kings in Sharakhai' on 'Storygraph'
3 stars
NOTE: What I’ve written below are just my opinions. Please do not let me sway you from reading this book. I gave it three stars simply out of my own feelings, so your own experience with this book might be different(I am notoriously picky).
Pros:
-The world building
-Interesting characters
-THE WORLD BUILDING!
-Fascinating mythology
-Interesting plot
Cons:
-Ceda had five (or more?) men in love with her or crushing on her at some point.
-Sex. I thought the sex scenes were unnecessary, but others might like them.
-There were a few parts where the results of the mystery were pretty obvious, and it dragged on a bit waiting for Ceda to catch on as we were dumped with myths or flashbacks.
Warnings:
-Sex
-Violence
