Evocation by S.T. Gibson
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.5
thank you to angry robot and netgalley for sending me an e-arc in return for an honest review!
evocation is a wonderful first book in a series, setting up for many different possibilities and full of the occult and messiness
having read both of s t gibsons other books currently out, this definitely has a different style of writing than dowry, but was still as enjoyable and kept me hooked! (being in a reading slump for october/november are part of the reason this took me so long)
the occult/dark magic aspect were so intriguing and i desperately want more, especially regarding david. and my days david is such an interesting character - a family rich pompous man who thinks himself better than others, yet is forced to rethink his view on help and accept that help is okay. it’s so messy and toxic and i kind of loved that? yes it could have had more, especially about rhys and david’s past relationship and cause of break up, they despise each other yet are forced to work together but it’s never really explained where their intense hatred stems from. moira is so sweet and bless her and david slowly growing to find comfort in each other 😭
this book is a story of attractive and messy characters with a history living the life they did not expect, yet are. and i cannot wait to see where this urban fantasy series keeps going!
