I don't want to give anything away but this book is everything I've been looking for since I was a teenager getting lost in lands in books which all seemed to die down when I went to university. I've read this book in record time and already have the second one lined up to read on my table in the living room - I just can't get enough of Prythian! 

The characters are loveable, even the ones you love to hate,l - there are so many different and complex characters, creatures, beings even... Some with redemption arcs, others who you love from the start and others you grow to love alongside Fayre. I simply cannot wait to discuss this book further with my friends and family.

It's a real page tuner. I've been brought to tears, heartbroken and seen hugging the book saying 'No' as well as kicking my feet like a schoolgirl reading something naughty - you really go through the motions with this book. So what I'm trying to say is: if you haven't read this book, Why ? 
Why haven't you?
