This is a story with a vast fantasy world while also being extremely character driven. And while I love character driven stories, I tend to have problems with them when I can't burn for at least one of them. In this way, the book lived up to the Atlas Six comp for me personally.
However, this is purely subjective, so let's get into the rest of it: The worldbuilding is immense - with regions, religions, politics and even dragons (though don't expect much dragons in book 1 - this might get more in the subsequent books hopefully). Everything is extremely slow burn, building up characters, the world and the magic system. And while I like working for my stories and not being spoon-fed everything, this time I felt lost and completely failed to get a good grip on the story. I'd have loved to be taken by the hand a bit more. When I was about 50% in, I still felt lost, and so it was hard to stay interested. I really liked the ending though, when I could finally get a feeling for where the story as a whole is headed. I appreciate everything it tries to do and the path it chooses. 3,5/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @angryrobots for the eARC! #TheEllyrianCode #Netgalley #Bookstagram
