Student Review: Caitlin Sangster did a phenomenal job with He Who Breaks the Earth by weaving together elements of fantasy, internal conflict, and differing perspectives. The story follows several characters’ perspectives after a terrible disaster that had occurred in the first novel: the destruction of a tomb. There’s fantasy elements, and it gives a medieval 17th century vibe. This book is slightly slow-paced, and is difficult to understand without reading the first book, and a recap would be nice to new readers. However, it’s obvious that it is an enjoyable read for those who have read the rest of the series.
