The Mistral (Mythic Roots 1)
Author: Felix Mosse

Imagine a melting pot of; Mistborn Era 1, Words of Radiance, Godkiller, and more. That’s right, you’ve got The Mistral.

This is such a good story and a fantastical world that Felix Mosse is building.

He’s done suuuuuch a good job of creating an interesting world that I completely and utterly want to immerse myself further in.

A world where two coalescing Mists grant people powers, some revere it as a god, others want to weaponise it and craft technology from it to being a world of power to the masses instead of the chosen few.

Mistral felt so familiar, and I’m not mad at that. Because it didn’t feel like a rip off, it felt nostalgic and home. It reminded me of an introduction to multiple worlds I’ve come to love before.

This was an ARC though, and although I really fucked with the story and characters, I think it needs a bit more editing before release as words/phrases/grammar at points had me stopping in my tracks.

Honestly, cool concept. I do want to see some more uniqueness in the sequel, but secret orders, political instability and rival wars, secret powers and prophecies, it ticks a lot of boxes.

4.0/5.0

Thank you to netgally, penguin random house and Felix Mosse for an ARC in exchange for an unbiased, honest review.
