4.5

This story is a fast-paced romantasy that talks about the reality of life —in general. With its enthralling and straightforward plot, you will find yourself fascinated by the light and darkness involved in the story. The world building was cruel and dark yet the characters are lovable. It also talks about the horrors of war and death. And it was brimming of plot twists and turns that might take you on the edge of your seat. Yet, the story was full of hope and love. It was both heartwarming and heart-wrenching. This is the beginning of a beautiful and immersive series, “Mistlands”.

When all seems lost, light will always be found in the dark.

Katherine Quinn made sure that the readers will feel deep sentiments in this story. It was captivating, fun, and romantic. I have never like instant love as much but I do appreciate how the author made it so acceptable — in my opinion. This is the first time I read her stories and definitely not the last. Thank you for this enticing story!
