These books are such good fun - this one was not as good as the first but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is a world I want to keep coming back to so I'm gonna pause this series now and come back to it after something a bit darker...

This book was goooood a mixture of skyrim, witcher and eragon. 

A fantastic magic system and one of the coolest kills I've ever read in a fantasy book.

Very excited for the next one!

This book was mid, very very very overhyped. There were some aspects that were absolutely fantastic - the dragon  and the magic system. The only gripes I had were some of the dialogue was very out of place and I cringed far too much for a fantasy book. Overall it was a good time but I don't think I'll read the others.

This was weird, calming, mysterious and beautiful but in the back of my mind I was always slightly on edge.

This was mega!

An absolute blast to read, the magic was sick and the battles were epic. The Red Knight is one of my new fav characters and he is just awesome - the Jon Wick of fantasy.

Big dumb fun. 

Shootouts, explosions and sharks! Not as good as casino royale but an enjoyable read nonetheless.
