** 1st Book of 2025: Entirely Forgettable. **
Read through this in one sleepless post-surgery night, and it just felt like a draft of a side-plot from a Stormlight Archives. There’s not much new in the premise of trying to escape dawn, and many other authors have tried to take on stories of mobile cities with much more success. The references to the rest of Stormlight Archive are vague enough that without wikipedia or a recent reread, you’re going to be hard pressed to link this to anything meaningful. Apparently I even reading the entire main series of Stormlight Archive isn’t enough, I should have read Dawnshard as well.
Nothing is fleshed out beyond the protagonist and his spren, even those two are bare bones. If this is the quality that kickstarter puts out, count me out.
