I love how the children are planning something in Chapter One. So intriguing. Then Mother appears. I’m interested and want to know more!!

I always love backstories yet in book series they tend to creep in after the first book and I feel that’s a shame. Every word that fleshes out the past of the protagonists immerses us further into their world, their lifes, their motivations. These flashbacks are succinct but revealing and even that little bit pulls you in, wanting more. Great writing as usual.

I just read the sample chapters that Leo Valiquette provided of The Crucible Tree (sequel to Bane of All Things). There’s a lovely description of a relationship between brothers and a mother provided view flashback. In the battle chapter, the new character of Uthnar was well-described. Overall, I was intrigued by the religious world building, with the sacrifices made of both priests and priestesses.
