(Cregan may be chaotic evil, but Conner’s way of manipulating others to get what he wants is SCARY, man.) Other than our protagonist and our villain, none of the characters are fleshed out, and they’re all pretty shallow. He’s the manipulative, calculating kind, which are always the most terrifying. The Sage with a bold, witty, and brave spirit, the Sage who would rather help others than benefit himself.īesides Sage, Conner is the only well-developed character with detailed motivations and a compelling backstory. Oh yes, once you read this book, you will get to know and love the Sage I know and love. Yes, at first glance he might seem like a complete idiot, and one who doesn’t care about anything except himself. He’s a loveably snarky nutcase, and I will never cease admiring his courage and care for others. Because as thrilling as this plot is, if the protagonist were anyone other than Sage, I don’t think I’d care much about this book. Really, he’s 99.9% of the reason I rated this five stars, and why I love it so much to begin with. Let’s just get that out of the way first. All I know is that I’ve enjoyed very few books more than I enjoyed this one.
