I honestly cannot say enough good things about this book! It got me out of a 3-year reading slump! It's the first print book that I'd read in a very long time!

The characters are so fun! All of their conversations felt very realistic! They did things that surprised me in the best way, and the things that didn't surprise me were done so beautifully that I didn't even care that I guess the plot point! I actually was taking a young adult literature class at my University this year and I chose this book to be my focus. I gave him many presentation and told people what I think that it should be added on to their TBR basically. I think that this book is simply amazing! Everything from the cover, to the characters, to the story, everything about this book was amazing! I am so excited for the sequel... But I read in the synopsis about the sequel and I'm worried that there might end up being a 🤮 love triangle. So we'll see how we do with that!

This is an astounding work of fantasy. It’s been a while since I’ve felt wholly transported to a world, and this one really delivered a living, breathing place to live in. The story and world-building is complex but not confusing, the characters just leap off the page, and it was so fun from beginning to end. It’s definitely YA but the themes and craft are so well done I believe just about anyone would enjoy it. Simply amazing I loved this so much!

Returning to 'Raybearer' in audio format before diving into 'Redemptor,' it was just as good as I remembered. The story is exceptionally paced and the characters are complex but lovable. This is a world and a group of characters that I care deeply about and though I didn't remember every moment, I remembered a great deal because Ifueko has created memorable characters and poignant moments. I'm so excited to start 'Redemptor' though I don't want the journey with these incredible characters to end.
