Brimstone (Callie Hart)

Finished reading: Brimstone by Callie Hart 📚

Look, the special girl gets more special!

Seriously, Hart’s worldbuilding and storytelling are massively improved from the first book, and this is a worthy read. (I really want to know who the Hazrax is, and if it’s super obvious, I am prepared to be embarrassed.)

The pacing is still weird, and the writing quality isn’t much better, if at all. (Hint: dropping $2 words occasionally makes your prose awkward, not sophisticated.) There was almost some pathos, but she shied away at the last minute.

All in all, a surprisingly good read. Recommended.
