He skillfully weaves in fantasy elements to elevate the tension, pushing Makar to face his doubts and the pressures of the Tenebrian Exam. He portrays Makar’s anxiety with authenticity. His interactions with Faina, the empathetic yet stern Truthseer, deepen the narrative, highlighting the delicate balance between compassion and perfection in a world that doesn’t tolerate failure. The pacing is precise, blending intense action with reflective moments that allow the story’s emotional depth to shine. An enthralling start to an exciting new series.
