- Remarks: Epic fantasy, character-driven, set in an oppressive desert landscape.
- Jay's Thoughts: The story is very character-driven, and I found most characters, especially Cayada, to be unique and compelling. It's refreshing to find a world that’s not the typical medieval fantasy but has depth.
