"On the Precipice (New Caelus Book 1)" featured proper world-building and well-developed characters without devoting too much time to any one aspect. I appreciated the novel's straightforward approach.
The gradual progression and description of events made the world-building feel very familiar. Every reference was followed by an explanation as to why it was that way.
It was amazing how the author created this world, with all of the characters and their personal stories. I was truly immersed in this world, always eager to find out what happened next.
I’m glad to see so much emphasis on how well-done the world building and character development was. With a story as intricate as this one, due to the subject matter, it can be difficult to keep balance with everything and not have your readers getting lost, confused, or even bored. So, I’m glad to hear that this author pulled it off. Congrats to them on BOTD!Despite its slow start, I thought it was necessary for the gradual development of the world and the overall description of global affairs.

“On the Precipice: New Caelus Book 1” by Brianna MacMahon seems like a book with an engaging narrative, well-written characters, and a well-crafted world. I like that the book seems to have a good balance of humor and political intrigue. I also like that the author presents the world-building in a way that readers can easily visualize this unique universe.
Congrats #BOTD
