A review by errie

adventurous dark

2.5

Things I liked: 
- The magic system was interesting and kept me intrigued. 
- The atmosphere/settings were really well written - both creepy and comforting. 
- The writing/language was beautiful and vivid, I could clearly picture even some of the most dreamlike scenes. 

Things I didn’t like: 
- The characters weren’t very well fleshed out, the protagonists slightly more so than the bad guys who somehow managed to be morally grey and one dimensional at the same time. 
- The pacing of the book was not to my taste at all. There was climax after climax and it just kept going - The final 100 pages felt like a never-ending slog of action save for a brief, and what felt like very out of place, sex scene
