Comment on This was easily one of my slowest reads of the year. Not only was it a real slow
factolvictor@dice.camp 22 hours ago A few parts really stood out. A ton happens—that’s a fact—but certain events were massive enough to practically reset the whole world! I really liked the character arcs for Josua and Vorzheva (which was tough to get through at first because Josua is so pigheaded, but improves dramatically by the end) as well as Simon and Aditu. >
Truth be told, Simon’s storyline with Aditu is burned into my brain and will stay with me for years to come. >

I keep wondering how this saga is going to wrap up. You can see significant growth in the main characters, but the villains' power scaling almost feels overwhelming by comparison. What happens in Chapter 28 was far too tragic to forget anytime soon. On to the next one!

@factolvictor @bookstodon To Green Angel Tower is excellent, but it's also one of the longest traditionally published works in the genre at something like 535k words.

Yeah, I bought my copy a few months ago and I can say it’ll be a journey. It’s definitely taking me a while to finish. It’s not that this book trilogy is bad—on the contrary, I’m really enjoying it—but after every chapter, I feel like I need to pause and process what I just read. Plus, being a teacher with a heavy reading workload already, I inevitably have to break my reading momentum every now and then.
