On my dare list of 2019. A bizarre ride about a man struggling with or walking alongside fate. There's a lot of Deus Ex Machina stuff, but the gods are a tangible force in the story and there's a feeling of "even though you won this time, there was a cost" in most of events. Cazaril is also one of the most broken protagonists of all time and it makes you really root for something good to happen to the poor guy. It was an interesting read!
On a Sunbeam
A sci-fi romance set in a strange setting. It never gives you complete information about the world and you're almost kind of glad for it. You're just dropped right into this elaborate, fascinating world. Each character gets greater focus as the story continues and you get a greater understanding of who they are. No character is wasted and the thrill of adventure never stops. My only complaint is that it kind of genuinely made me crave a story about people coming in to restore or demolish old temples and places in a fantasy/sci-fi world. Its such a fascinating concept that I want to see done in tighter detail.
