![]() ![]() Overall ThoughtsĮleventh Cycle is a gritty, grimdark fantasy novel with a huge list of trigger warnings (provided by the author), so not for the faint of heart! ![]() This is definitely a character-driven narrative, despite having such a detailed world to learn about. They all feel distinct and are incredibly well written. The misty world feels claustrophobic at times which is just a sign of how good the author is at drawing you into the setting.ĭalila, Nora, Chroma, and Erefiel Numaya are the POV characters. Minethria is a rich, well developed world with a huge amount of lore that I loved learning more about. Inspired by Beserk and the Dark Souls games, you can feel the influences throughout the book – especially in the tone and atmosphere. And you have over 800 pages to learn what you need to know, so you’ll be fine! Characters & Worldbuilding The author does a good job of giving you all the information you need to enjoy the scenes as you get to them and learn naturally about the places, people and lore as the novel progresses. ![]() ![]() You might initially feel a little confused or overwhelmed with the character names, places, lore etc, and I think that’s kind of the point! There is a steep learning curve in Eleventh Cycle but it’s well worth the time and effort you put in. ![]()
