Sky Tracer by Hayden Moore
My ranking: 3 of 5 stars
Sky Tracer is an epic fantasy story set in an uncommon world which has echoes of Norse and Greek mythology.
The story opens within the dim world of the forest flooring and the biosphere of mushrooms. Ruthy has fallen from the ‘sky’, escaping a ship. She is discovered by a lone warrior known as Mēna and collectively they set off on an journey; they gather heaps extra characters on their method and collectively face many battles.
It is a complicated story, not straightforward to observe with many twists and even after I had completed the guide, I nonetheless didn’t perceive all of it.
What I preferred concerning the story:
Setting the opening a part of the guide in a world stuffed with mushrooms was my favorite half of the guide and I might see a variety of thought had gone into this. MÄ“na was the character I empathised with most, and her fascinating mechanical arm was a great facet of the story. I additionally preferred the concept of The Tree Of Ancients and all the pieces that lived on or in it.
What I didn’t like as a lot:
Sadly I discovered that the flowery writing model overpowered the world-building and storyline to the purpose the place it was arduous to wish to learn in massive chunks. Most of the feminine characters have been jarringly masculine, swearing and speaking of sexual acts in what can be termed on this world as a ‘laddish’ trend. I don’t thoughts ‘F’ bombs and sexual discuss the place applicable, however on this excessive fantasy setting it felt mistaken. My final level goes to using a number of names for a couple of character; this turned very complicated in a plot that was already intricate.
General, a fancy plot in a fantasy world, with an overwhelming writing model which made it difficult to learn.
