My rating: ★★★★☆ 4 out of 5 stars.
What can I say Bryce was a brilliant main character who I think a lot of people want to be friends with, this being the main reason I loved this book.
I loved the friendship side of this book and Sarah's way of writing fantasy is right up my street. Although I did enjoy the heat between the lovers but I'm getting a little bit bored of the hype and intensity of romance in novels. Is it just me?
The book follows Bryce and Hunt with some other great characters. They're investigating a murder that happened a few years ago when new information comes about. The twist at the end is great I love it and I can't wait for the next one.
One thing about the book is it is very up and down, it felt so emotional at points and then all of a sudden you would crash back down again. Sarah is very good at making you feel so connected towards the characters, I didn't find one that I didn't enjoy.
The book was hard for me to read purely because I'm not a fantasy reader, until now. The world building was completely different for me and very intricate. I really loved it the writing but found it really hard not to skip these bits as I like fast paced stories and the dialogue.
I really enjoyed the different types of mythical creatures living in harmony within reason, it was nice to see the different interactions and how much the world spun right round and everything changed. Some of the scenes were really hard to read because you get attached to the characters. The one scene that got me emotionally involves Hunt, he sacrificed a lot and I think its safe to say I enjoyed his character a lot.
I would recommend this book especially if you have read any of the other books by Sarah J. Maas. Also I would recommend if your looking to get into fantasy with a bit of romance and have a little bit of patience.
Thank you for reading,
Becky.
