A brilliantly crafted story set in a fantastical world. A sinister magic system. Vampires, witches and Indiana Jones? I'm hooked.
The writing was beautiful which is a sure fire way for me to give any book a high rating, but moreso the characters were well developed and the world felt very real. I love the little bits of worldbuilding woven into the story.
I really loved this but it did have some flaws. For one there was a bit of a lull at the 50% mark but I knew if I pushed through I would absolutely love the rest and I wasn't wrong. I'm still giving this 5 stars because despite that, it was a brilliant book.
It's simultaneously a throwback to epic fantasies of old whilst also being totally refreshing and new.
I bought the entire trilogy in one so I'm very glad I loved it. Looking forward to book 2!
