Halfway through the book, her storyline and Tormalin were hands down my favorites.
At first, I thought she would be the weakest POV to follow, but I couldn’t be more wrong. However, this wasn’t the case with Vintage I found her character to be charming. I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a fan of Indiana Jones franchise I found them to be okay and I failed to see what’s so special about them. Vintage reminded me of a female version of Indiana Jones. “Any institution that claims to keep women locked up for their own good should be watched very close, in my opinion.”Ī huge part-superb storytelling aside-on why this book became so addictive to read for me was due to the characters the characterizations were tremendous and the main characters were super easy to root for. I can’t remember the last time I read 300 pages in a single day and this book did it for me effortlessly. It took a quarter of the book for me to get into it, but once all three main characters storyline has joined, my god… I was completely hooked. Williams did a fantastic job in mixing sci-fi and fantasy to tell a uniquely refreshing and yet familiar tale.
I’ve mentioned earlier that the genre of this book is high fantasy, but I’m honestly not too sure which genre would be the most apt to classify this novel. If you’re interested in knowing more of the premise, I suggest reading the official blurb on Goodreads/Amazon instead. The great city of Ebora has lost its glory and wealth, now that the city and its people are on the verge of oblivion, Tormalin the Oathless-one of the last surviving citizen of Ebora-accepts Vintage’s offer of a job as her bodyguard in her adventures. The Ninth Rain is the first book in The Winnowing Flame Trilogy by Jen Williams. This book is approximately 550 pages long and I finished it within two days it’s been months since I felt this compelled to read a high fantasy novel at this pace. I’ll get to reading The Copper Cat eventually, but for now I’m so into this series, and let me just say that from the experience of finishing this book alone, I already know I’ll be reading any book that Williams published. On Goodreads, you’ll see that I put my co-blogger’s name as the one who recommended this book to me do know that for the past two years, there were actually many readers who have told/asked me to read and review not only The Winnowing Flame Trilogy, but also William’s debut series: The Copper Cat trilogy. The Ninth Rain won the Best Fantasy Novel trophy in British Fantasy Awards 2018 this is a totally well-deserved victory.
