Saltherine Aldarake, princess of the Kingdom of Aldarake, dreams of travelling the world, a dangerous dream in a land where monsters roam the countryside as they please, and humans live in fear. The premise is an epic adventure in which a princess pushes against the walls of her world to see what lies beyond them.The strength is the dream. Saltherine's longing is affecting, and the sense of a dangerous world full of wonder gives the story a lively feel. The adventure has a sweeping, hopeful energy.The weaknesses are about the long run. The story can drag, and some arcs follow familiar fantasy routes. Readers wanting tighter pacing may find it sprawling.Recommended for fans of epic adventures about wanderlust. Expect a sweeping, hopeful read that rewards patience.
