I loved The Strings of Time! This enthralling novel expertly blends heart-pounding action, imaginative worldbuilding, and unforgettable characters (Enora was my favorite) into an unputdownable adventure that will leave you breathless. Sid's storytelling prowess shines as he transports you to a vividly imagined world where epic conflicts and awe-inspiring dustomancy unfold. From the mesmerizing setting to the adrenaline-fueled battles and the captivating cast of characters, every element of this book works in harmony to create a truly remarkable reading experience.
As someone who never reads fantasy, I must say this book kept me going. You can tell the author spent a lot of time creating the world and how it works. Even down to the characters' dialog and how they navigate their days and nights. There were A Lot of different glyfs used and I appreciate that Mr. Sinha designed and added them to the first page. It made it easier for a beginner to visualized it while reading. There was, also, a lot of character development that I hope to see even more of in the next book. Overall, I enjoyed it, even though it's not my regular genre. My husband, who mainly reads fantasy, loved the multiple ways magic was used. If you like fantasy, read it! And if you want to delve in for the first time, I suggest taking time to read how the glyfs work and enjoy the magical ride.
