When Shadows Grow Tall is a debut fantasy novel that introduces you to two compelling storylines that later merge. 

Rangers Gunnar and Lovelace are a sort of long suffering, likeable pair that I enjoyed, I looked forward to their dynamics when dealing with problems and especially uncooperative people. Meanwhile, Kylene's personality and her story was definitely something that propelled me forward while reading, I love a good questing heroine! 

Voss's lyrical and descriptive style of writing brings world to life - immersion is pretty easy. 

Overall, When Shadows Grow Tall is a great choice for fantasy enthusiasts, showcasing the talent of a promising new author. 

I was provided an ARC copy in exchange for honest review, thank you to NetGalley.
