𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗯𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲 was a challenging read for me. I initially DNF'ed it a few months ago but decided to give it another try for Pride Month. Though it remained challenging and I finished it too late to include in my June reads, I found the effort worthwhile. The story follows seven kindlings, once elite magic-wielding warriors, now outcasts in a world where their magic is outlawed. The narrative is unique, with each character’s perspective written in the second person. Initially, I found it difficult to follow and sort out who was who, but once I adjusted, I appreciated the distinctiveness and depth it added to the story. The characters are richly developed, each with their own personalities and traumas from the war. Their struggle to come together and fight one last time against a looming threat was both heart-wrenching and inspiring. The portrayal of their pasts and pain made me deeply empathize with each of them. The book’s cover is stunning and perfectly captures the essence of the story. Inspired by classic films like "Seven Samurai" and "The Magnificent Seven," 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 was overall a good read.
