An interesting concept!! Took a while to truly get going.

Just starting this. I‘m waiting to discover what a Solitaire, a white Solitaire and a white man are and what the similarities or differences are. I think I‘ve got the gist of Traders and Sylvestris though.

humouress I‘m about halfway through. Still not sure if describing people as white or black refers to their skin colour or the colour of their Solitaire. Still have no idea what being Solitaire means. ‘Sylvestri‘ are in touch with nature. ‘Traders‘ are shape-changers and come from rich families but I haven‘t worked out the link. (edited) 3y

A SLOW read, but I am starting to get into it. Not what I was expecting at all. Also, what‘s Tom thinking about? He‘s got that far off stare going on 😂

A lot of promise & a decent read, but unfortunately fell short for me. The plot was good & the writing was fine, but there was a lack of development & detail. Things felt rushed & there wasn't enough establishment of the magic system to make the story fully understandable. The overall story was still enjoyable, but I would have loved to have been given more backstory & detail.
