The Rising by Jo Riccioni
3.0

This had much potential but sadly this conclusion felt like it was a little bit too rushed.
The world building is great, the banter was killing it and I loved the characters.
Sadly, it was as though this was supposed to be a trilogy but was shrunk to a duology and in result many things were left unexplored.
The prophecy for example. It was driving the whole plot and then we never hear of it again?
Nara’s powers barely had time to develop and we never get to see their full potential.
The plot twists at the end were kinda unbelievable too
and it’s like we never get a proper battle scene. Every time the characters go to war (3 times in this) some hero or the other decides to finish the villain ahead of time.
Still really enjoyed this though, I just think a third book would’ve made all the difference.
