You never know where this story is going to take you. But you can always feel the emotional scope getting grander. And with characters that you can root for, it's absolutely delicious turning these pages and seeing how much deeper this narrative can take you. This profound ungraspability, in terms of guessing what happens next, is what works best in The Jackal of Nar . At no point was I reading anything that I could've predicted only 15 pages ago.
Loyalties change, and the upper hand is shifted unexpectedly.
And as it should be in a tale of war, anybody can go, and don't you forget it. Another good thing is how vivid every chapter seems. This world really comes to life. In some ways, it's a conventional fantasy world, with kings and princes, swords and strange beasts, some magic here and there. And so visually I think the novel kinda coasts.
