Zivan reviewed Never Knew Another by J. M. McDermott
Review of 'Never Knew Another' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Mcdermott's fantasy engages the usual tropes from a different angle, concentrating first on the characters and then on the world. Giving his works depth while keeping the world mysterious and hinting at a complex history.
For a relatively short book it did sometimes feel like it could have been a bit shorter though.
Note that this is definitely a first book in a trilogy and has a clear, to be continued ending.
