He Who Walks in Shadow by Brett J. Talley
4.0
An excellent novel with history and adventure! Though this is not my preferred genre of reading, having received this book from a GR giveaway, I am very satisfied with this book and its story! The style for which this book is written was actually quite pleasant, I'm not familiar with the journal entry/newsprint entry way of reading but it was actually much preferred in contrast to just arbitrarily flip flopping POVs. The lore and mythology in this had me entertained and hoping for graphics throughout, maybe of Carter and Henry's exploits, but nonetheless it was very lovely!
A thing I found inconsistent and also unnecessary was Rachel's romance in the book, I did like the jealousy exhibited by Margot and the small drama it afforded but it's kinda devaluing, especially with only the two female characters and neither of them getting on because of a man. All the characters felt sincere but again the women in this could have been better than just sacrificial plot devices.
