JamesĬertainly knows how to create vulnerable young female characters with aĬore of steel and upon whose shoulders the crux of the main plot is balanced inĪn Atlas-like fashion. She reminds me a lot of Elena ( Banned & Banished ) & Dart ( The Godslayer Chronicles ). Nyx while being the central focus of the plot in The Starless Crown is a close second as It is his discovery of Shiya that propels most of the eventsĪnd I for one would love to see what the future holds for his bond with Pratik and Shiya.

The fourth main POV gets introduced around the halfway point and it’s Graylin sy Moor, a disgraced knight who He’s been looked down upon all his life and he doesn’t really Toranth and is rather scandalously known as the Sodden Prince, the Tallywag or Prince Kanthe ry Massif is the second born twin son of King Something in the mines that propels him to escape his circumstances.

Which left her with clouded vision and sees the world in a shadowy manner. Due to a certain accident back when she was a newborn, Nyx is a visually challenged, seventh year student at theĬloistery of Brayk. Plot has four main characters however, we get to begin with these three: The reader is slowly immersed alongside the POV characters and their worlds (Clemens fans should recognize this scheme).
