When Kingdoms Fall by Callie Dahl
5.0
First of all, I would like to thank the author for sending me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book has consumed my life for the past couple of days and rightfully so because it was fricking amazing. Callie Dahl has created a whole new world of magic set to captivate all readers — she has created her own gods, her own magic system and she has put her own little spin on elves and faeries. I couldn’t put this book down.
At first, I was afraid that it would be too confusing because the book is reading in three different POVs — Willa’s, Sorean’s and Kaius’ — but it flowed so beautifully that you didn’t notice and didn’t mind when the POV change happened. I really enjoyed Willa’s fiery attitude and how she always had a comeback ready. Her character development throughout the book was something that happened in a way where the reader didn’t notice it till the character herself did. I really liked Kaius’ chapters as well. He’s a revenge driver elf with a soft spot for his Griffin friend (did Greer steal the show? Absolutely!) but I have to say my favourite character was Sorean. I loved his development the most out of all them and the way he loathed but also loved to tease Willa was so entertaining to read!
All in all, When Kingdoms Fall is a fantastic read for people who love fantasy books filled with power, revenge and betrayals. I didn’t think I was going to enjoy it as much as I did because I haven’t read this type of fantasy books in a while. But this, for me, was absolutely perfect! I can’t recommend it enough!
