Characters never rise beyond their tropes, which is disappointing because his character work was SO strong in the Nyxia trilogy. Not quite enough building with the gods plotline/worldview, but maybe that'll come through more in the second one. Think students will be interested in the action once they get to the races, but beyond a great premise, this felt by-the-numbers. Will definitely booktalk and hope kids dig it, he has a strong audience in my kids.
