![]() The novel and world hit all of the buttons for me, from an Epic Fantasy perspective. ![]() a bold, audacious, and fantastic way for James Rollins to carve a path back into Epic Fantasy. I got a sense he was having fun, and sometimes the best thing a writer can. What I appreciated the most, though, was how much Rollins’s love for Epic Fantasy came through in the entirety of the novel. There were some slower patches of the novel that brought down things a bit, but those were few and far between. I immediately fell in love with the immersive, appropriately detailed world-building, found the characters to be empathetic and fascinating, and found the plotting to mostly be breakneck. ![]() Hint, I liked that element of the novel! I found a lot to like in The Starless Crown. The plot, at times, felt like a RPG adventure, with the monstrous attacks, the importance of magical objects, but a really well-written, imaginative, and gripping adventure. ![]()
