The last 20% of this book had me in a chokehold. A few twists I didn’t see coming and a very exciting plot development for the next book has me itching to keep reading immediately.
If you’d have asked me half way through, I’d probably have said I wasn’t all that attached to the characters, but I felt so emotional reading through the last part that I found myself welling up constantly. It seems I’ve been unknowingly hooked!
I found the nightwalkers an interesting take on Fae powers and something I hadn’t come across before, which helped add a new element to what could have easily been another fantasy fae/human story. We’re thrown into the peril of the lives of our cast of characters right from the beginning and I loved diving headfirst into the world building.
I hit a bit of a lull in the middle when we ventured into the fighting part of the plot, but this is probably because it felt a little out of character for me and also I just wasn’t interested in this storyline. Having finished the book, I get now why it was important… but trying to get through it was a bit slow.
All in all, I’m so glad I finally got round to reading this and can’t wait to read the next in the series!
