This is a book I will accept no criticism on unfortunately. Brigid Kemmerer has me in a chokehold and I’m grateful.
The way she writes stories is entrancing and you can tell this is her second fantasy series bc the twists are more even more compelling than in her last.
I love Tessa - I identified strongly with her and her internal discourse on power, politics, and government lead me to my own reflections and consolidations of my ideals.
I was always rooting for Wes and Tessa. His love for her always made me want to see him fight for himself.
I was frustrated by Harriston and I’m glad he came through in the end.
Quint and Rocco are delightful side characters.
The setting is compelling, dark, and fascinating. A fantasy world struggling with a pandemic with a mystery element running throughout
Please do yourself a favour and read this book.
