Shadow of the Torturer
- Twisting narrative, very hard to predict any sort of narrative arc. In a good way.
- Some great descriptive and lively, well developed characters.
- Well executed twists.
- Some really inventive fragments of world building, like the flower mechanic but I would say overall mostly unoriginal in that department.
- In the end, I’m 50% hooked, but not hooked enough to jump right into the sequel. Maybe it’s because the grand arc of the whole thing is kind of known, and explicitly so.
