Hellooo, italian reader here :) My thoughts on this book are, for the main part, very positive <3 It's one of the books that had me hooked since the start, and I really enjoyed reading it. The characters are interesting, and some aspects of them can be relatable to the audience in some cases. Even if the way it is written is more different than the books I have read before, it still makes me feel what the characters feel in the scenes and the unfolding events there are. The characters may not always show the emotion or do the things we'd expect, but in a way, it shows how the world around them has an impact on their person and are somewhat more realistic, for example, the way Cassius ran away from the beast that chased him while trying to save his brother reflected the harsh reality of the situation. Personally, I like how he isn't the type of character that screams "I'm the main character", makes things more realistic, as I already said, and it made me want to keep reading and see if Cass would have stayed like this or changed. Plus, the way he is torn between following and being devoted to his religion and simply being himself is an aspect that I, like a lot of people I'm sure, can relate to. His feelings and emotions, the way he thinks about it, it's all real, and even if a little sad, it's something that I love being written in a book. It is a thing that happens a lot in real life, to a lot of people, and the fact it happens to Cass makes this part of the audience see themselves and feel the same way Cassius feels about this. (Thank you so much Lucien for writing this, just thanks, and know you did a wonderful job.) Another character I find really interesting is Leo Shaw. The way I can't figure out if I either like him or not just makes me understand how well his person is used because WOW I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS MAN. I seriously cannot wait to see what he will do in the next books, and I am sooo interested in finding out. The writing is very good, the only thing I noticed though is the lack of descriptions for people or objects. I think that it would help to make the reader imagine what is being described in the book much better. I had a bit of a hard time with the teras (but that's understandable, like wow, I wouldn't have been able to describe them well enough), some characters and a few objects, for example the weapon that is used to blind the teras momentarily. I do not recall reading a description about that in the first book and it made me a bit confused. Is it like a gun? A torch? Somehow both?? Still, the book is very good, one of my favourites whatsoever, and I can't wait to read the others! I just gotta find the Italian version of The Teras Tactics somewhere, but I am looking forward to it and still recovering from the emotional roller coster (in a good way). Really suggest reading this! :)
