If you’re reading this, congratulations, you’re well on your way to picking up City of Reckoning, a decision that a thoughtful, engaging, and, dare I say, strikingly good-looking reader such as yourself will count among the best you’ve made this year. Your good taste is to be applauded and rewarded with an eloquently worded, gripping tale of adversity, internal struggles, and perseverance; and the book’s not bad either!
Doubtlessly, someone with your refined literary palate will appreciate the academic immersion that comes from discovering a thoroughly realized world, populated with diverse and complete cultures, each with their own mythology, class systems, and views on gender dynamics. Half of the conflict in this story arises from the clash between kingdoms, the other half from the characters’ struggles against these cultures, and the third half from interpersonal friction. As a sharp-minded reader like you will have observed, this elementary math indicates that City of Reckoning is packed with quite a bit of dynamic and layered conflict.
“But wait,” I hear you cry, “excellent world-building on its own is not enough to sustain a novel, particularly one of this length!” You’re quite right, and I’d even note that your good judgement is matched only by your personal charisma. Yes, while Nerasia is a solid canvas, the beauty of this story comes from the characters. Each is their own person, their flaws, motivations, and feelings providing the driving force for this story. These characters make mistakes, they struggle against adversity inside and out, and through it all they grow in this compelling bildungsroman.
Now, all this is well and good, but someone as discerning as you will still feel the nagging of a yet-unanswered question: will I like this story? First, let me mention that it’s quite prudent of you not to be swayed by simple flattery, after all, someone with your strong-minded personality is clearly capable of making decisions for themselves. So, will you like City of Reckoning?
If you enjoy epic worlds with fantastical races and awe-inspiring creatures; if you empathize with adolescent awkwardness and a young person trying to make their way in an unforgiving world; if you cheer those seeking justice against overwhelming odds, or if you wonder what justice means; if you appreciate the journey for its struggles and the growth it cultivates, then yes, you’ll enjoy City of Reckoning.
