The Unspoken Name by A.K. Larkwood

4.0

When I saw the stunning cover of ᴛʜᴇ ᴜɴꜱᴘᴏᴋᴇɴ ɴᴀᴍᴇ by A. K. Larkwood, I fell straight in love. It also resembles the dark mood of the story perfectly.

The author showcases a very detailed, thrilling writing style, which I definitely enjoyed. The plot has been worked out well and the author has built in quite a few unexpected twists and turns. Furthermore, the world building in this story has been absolutely epic. Even though there have been quite some places to visit throughout the story, I have been impressed about how easy it was to imagine every little detail in this amazing world.

Another positive aspect of this book for me, has been the list of names and the pronunciation guide at the very beginning of the book. It definitely came in very handy while reading this story.

Unfortunately, this book hasn't exactly been an easy read, which was mostly due to the hard to pronounce names of characters and places. I'm one of those people, who always have to get the names right and even though I'm very grateful for the pronunciation guide mentioned above, it did take some time to always go back to it.

The characters are simply stunning. They're a broad range of courageous, cunning, loving, skilled fighters, who all experience some kind of betrayal. All of them know very well what sacrifice means and handle their adventures with their chins up.

ᴛʜᴇ ᴜɴꜱᴘᴏᴋᴇɴ ɴᴀᴍᴇ by A. K. Larkwood is a story full magic, glorious adventures, and wonderful characters. While reading this book, you will see time and again how the various characters are sacrificing themselves as well as their dreams for others, without hesitation. I can highly recommend this book to every fantasy lover.
