New Secret Voice Volume One review!
Cherry picking a bit: “Lurking in the background is a meticulously-fashioned, complex world of Soto’s creation, but while he references this aspect throughout in order to acclimate the reader, he doesn’t indulge in information dumps or any other convoluted explanations, preferring the knowledge to lodge itself in the reader’s brain more organically. This means that while he bides his time on a sensible delivery system for what could be overwhelming, he’s able to spend time on characters and giving you a reason to care about their place in this grand, potentially overwhelming epic. It’s the personal grounding that’s crucial in these fantasy epics and Soto pulls it off well.”
