Changes

Skullsworn is a great read. The mythology and exploration of faith in the Skullsworn world was were different and intriguing to read, with pieces of ancient history revealed as the story progressed. It was complex but highly engrossing with vivid descriptions of the cruel and dirty city of Pyrre's birth. ''Skullsworn'' is very well written with the story flowing easily, while the pacing of events is impressive and just right. One of the main selling points, however, is Pyrre's smart and calculating narration and the great structuring of the novel with flashbacks providing insight into Pyrre's character. This exploration of Pyrre's past and her confessions about it throughout the story really developed her character and made her more likablelikeable, as well as adding depth to the story.

The second selling point of Staveley's novel are is the characters and the fantastic dialogue between them, especially the two witnesses, who are already a priest and priestess of the God of Death, and are exceptional exceptionally different. Their contrasting attitudes and quick remarks made the story really funny at times, and so much more interesting as a result. And their fight scenes were irresistible, in fact , all the fight scenes in the book were lethal, quick and very enjoyable.
