Theory (The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming #1)

Easy 5.
Uh, WHY has < 200 people read this book? I’m scratching my head on this one.
I already bought a physical copy for my shelves because I want to reread it and share it with loved ones.
Coming out (fingers crossed!?) of the pandemic this is the pep talk we might need to hear. It’s feels therapeutic but make it fantastical. I also love the level of debate in this book. I feel like if you have a journalism/broadcasting/storytelling background - you’ll find yourself nodding along with amusement (like I did).
Why I picked this:
- Stunning cover.
- Reviews kept mentioning Kingkiller Chronicles as a comp, (say whaaaaaaaa?!).
Behind the rating:
Character Development was 5/5.
Plot though, was very simple/basic. Think, Piranesi level. So 2/5
The writing was insanely gorgeous- I’ll share some of the highlights. Think Laini Taylor levels.
Now does it meet Patrick Rothfuss levels? I don’t know, but this makes me want to reread that series. And also, count down to book 2 in this series (late October).
There isn’t an audio on this yet, so hunker down and don’t rush through this gem.
