Rated The Brightest Shadow 10/10

My favourite book from Sarah Lin so far!

The Brightest Shadow is an Epic, Progression Fantasy that nails what I enjoy most from both sub-genres. It has a large fully realized world, filled with numerous cultures , beliefs, traditions etc. Reading it makes me wish I had a Wikipedia for the world so that I can track down every country, continent, city, culture and person that's mentioned and learn everything there is to know about them. The progression fantasy elements are well thought out, and flesh out the world much better than most that I've read with what's hinted at being a massive and varied system that can cover everything from the standard martial arts that is so common, to magical blasts, to transportation & technology.

Eagerly awaiting book 2!
