Cry, Voidbringer
Book Review
Change doesn’t happen all at once, it happens over time.
Cry, Voidbringer is written from a multi-character point of view. The characters are born into a system that works for no one. Each of them chose to make decisions they believed were right in order to protect the ones they loved or what they believed would bring change into the broken system.
Humans make decisions from good intentions most of the time but they don’t always translate as good.
The author did a great job creating characters who were complicated. Humans aren’t perfect and we fall short all the time and this book highlighted this well. This wasn’t your hero journey story, it was truly a dark fantasy that resembled what the real world could look like if no one ever stands up for what is right or what is wrong.
One of the things the I feel the author did well was showing how even the most loving relationships can be toxic. We know this and yet we still endure relationships that aren’t good for us (romantic and nonromantic). Because we think we are needed and want to make sure they have someone in their corner. Well! Sometimes we need to fall flat on our faces so we can do better. If we never learn from our mistakes, how will we grow?
