Beneath the Palace Veil

"Sucker Father, I go."

I am loving this book! I keep having flashbacks to playing MTG and trying to picture how the spells and effects would look. All in all, 10/10 would recomend to a friend.

I am reviewing this book only for the FP

If any new readers come by; Use this review as a chance to ask any and all questions related to the story. Here are some things you can expect-Romance is present, but it is not the main focus. Instead, the story is more about the strong bonds of loyalty and understanding that develop between characters as they face chaos. This can lead to meaningful relationships that grow naturally, rather than forced or over dramatic. My goal is real relationships•The story is centered on Elias Kael, a chef after hanging up his dreams, who is trying his best to navigate a world in chaos. He's not a natural hero, but he has a strong moral compass and is determined to honor his father's legacy, which makes him relatable since he's often overwhelmed, but never quits. His story is strongly about redemption and second chances at life without the isekai trope. He gets a chance to impact his world and learn about where things went wrong•There's a diverse cast of supporting characters, each with their own dynamics: Elara, a strong military commander with a hidden past and a special connection with Elias; Geras, a figure from Elias’s past who acts like he wants to help but has a hidden agenda; Kikaru, a driven and powerful shard-bearer focused on training; Tid Well, a laid-back shard-bearer who challenges the rules; and Marcus, a tech expert who is always ready with information. and so many more; so everyone will have a chance to have a favorite character•The plot is a fast-paced mix of action, mystery, Adventure with a touch  of science fiction. You'll find everything from alien invasions and government secrets to ethical issues surrounding the power of the shards. Expect plenty of twists and turns as the characters navigate a world on the brink of chaos, and many intense combat scenes balanced with character moments.•A unique part of the story is the Ikonas(my favorite part btw) , which are tiny creatures that enhance the powers of the shard-bearers. Each one is different, and the interactions between the characters and their Ikonas add a lot of depth to the story.
