I'm farther in now and something I'm realizing is that I don't particularly like the way that the author decided to differentiate the conversations between the immortals, animals, and Daine. For example, when an immortal talks it's italicized. However, when an animal talks, it acts as regular text. It's kind of annoying when I think about it and I have to read things a couple of times to see who, or what, is talking, if they're talking at all. Sometimes the speech of the immortals is using proper dialogue indicating they are speaking aloud, that makes sense. But, the problem is how whatever it is replies. The art I just read is one where the Stormwing, the immortal, speaks aloud to the Basilisk, which is another mortal. The Basilisk speaks to it with his mind since it's italicized? I don't know but that issue has been bothering me lately.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how I feel about the detail put into the immortals either. The immortals seem vague and honestly, uninteresting. I also think that the way they speak is a little bit odd too. The book has them speaking fancy tongue or prefect English. But, you would think they wouldn't be speaking perfect English or none at all since they were trapped in the Divine Realms for a really, really long time. Then again, it's not a big deal. It just makes things easier to read for me...which I like.
Finished it and started the next book. I don't remember most of the ending of this because I finished it when I was sick but I remember it being good. I also thought the story was moving to quick and missing some important details, but then again, I was reading quick and I wasn't paying real close attention.
