Shorefall

ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

There is a lot I found fascinating about Bennett's prose from reading the first book in this series, Foundryside. He created a hard magic system that was inspiring to me as a writer, in turn I found insanely inspiring this time around with Shorefall.

This was a book series I have been etching to read more in and I was fortunate enough to read this before it's release, which at this point I'd say didn't disappoint.

In between the pouring of guts and steam-powered machinery in this story, there was only one moment where the pacing felt low and relaxed. Honestly, I expect a few slow downs with info dumps through an epic fantasy, and with Shorefall I felt it necessary to give a single moment to pause and look around at the alluring world. There is something particularly beautiful about ravaging politics and people who are on the edge of their demise.

The book was pretty damn awesome.
