A review by booksandlemonsquash
The Deck of Omens by C.L. Herman
4.0
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I loved my trip back to Four Paths! I fell right back into the atmosphere and the story. I love Violet, and her determination. I loved getting to see more of Isaac, and even May. Isaac is just beyond wonderful in this, I think everyone now loves him and quite rightly so!
Plus I adore Augusta and Juniper, they’re so cute. Augusta isn’t a likeable character suddenly, but I love that relationship and the way it softens Augusta.
The magic is so integral here, and getting to see more about the beast and the background to the founding of the town was just epic, I really enjoyed every second of that. I gasped at several of the reveals, I cheered on our protagonists (even when they were at odds), and I just generally rolled around in the wonderfully creepy atmosphere.
This is a glorious return to the Devouring Grey, and I am all for it. 4.5 stars.
