How did it make me feel?
The Narrative
Legends of Andolin was a quick and exciting read. It delivers everything that a good fantasy promises. The pace was perfect, I loved how it didn’t linger too long in one place. This made it a quick page-turner and kept me engaged throughout. And what an ending! It ended with such an interesting cliff-hanger, I was not expecting that at all! I believe it can be interpreted in many ways, which is what I love to do. So many possibilities! I cannot wait for the sequel!
The Characters
My past experiences with fantasy have always left me annoyed with at least one of the characters. I don’t know what it is, I always end up hating at least one character. However, that’s not the case here. I loved each and every character in this story, especially Adella and Kol. The author has depicted just enough to keep the chemistry between them intangible, which I absolutely loved! I had such warm feelings toward Armand and Teresa as well.
Would I recommend it?
Yes. If you are a fantasy lover, you should definitely go for this one.
