I’m not sure exactly what I like so much about this story /series, but something about it has me invested.
Familiar types are all different from typical. Goblins are elegant, long-lived, taper-eared, and powerful. They like a good fight. Earnest and never break their word. I LOVE Guise.
And so it goes, wolfkin aren’t exactly the same as general idea of shapechangers.
The idea of the Hundred is a novel one, as far as I know.
The story has been unfolding at a slower pace than is the usual but it’s a nice change of pace.
Sometimes the “world-building” is a little too much on the side of “sketched out” versus filled in, but ultimately I’m more about the story anyway.
I can’t tell at all where the main problem to solve is going. Five days til the next installment. I’m glad they aren’t years apart!
