I absolutely adored House of Blight! It sucked me in right from the beginning. Maxym M. Martineau paints such a vivid picture of this fantasy world overrun with a disease called blight. It destroys everything it touches in a rather horrific way, and Martineau does not shy away from the all the disgusting details. I found it really helped immerse me in the story, and it was easy to picture this world, the characters, and the horror that is blight. The magic system was incredibly interesting as well, particularly when it comes to Threadmenders. The idea that healing others comes at a steep price, cutting your own life short by an unknown amount every time, really raises the stakes.
I really enjoyed these characters, even the less savory ones. Edira, Orin, and Rorik were, of course, my favorites, though I’m giving honorable mention to a certain important stag and moth. I really loved the description of the estate, Fernglove, as well. The manor and its grounds were instrumental in crafting the gothic atmosphere of this book.
In short, the vibes of House of Blight are simply immaculate. Think Crimson Peak. I’m so excited for this duology and would highly recommend House of Blight to gothic fantasy lovers everywhere!
Thank you Harper Voyager for the early copy of House of Blight. All opinions are my own!

This was such a good book. I would love to see if there ends up being more for this book. The characters were so good. The entire story was so well written and entertaining. I couldn't stop reading it. The ending was a sit on the edge of your seat and hold on ending.
