booksthatburn's review against another edition

The way the love interest is handled started to feel like copaganda. It sucks, because otherwise I was enjoying the story.

HOLY. CLIFFHANGER. BATMAN.

I’ll have an actual review up on my blog and edit this review later to link it but WOAH. This book was all kinda of amazing. As a tarot reader, using the deck to actually see the future was *chef’s kiss.* I mean just all kinds of phenomenal. Again: WOAH. I read as an audiobook and the narration was nearly FLAWLESS. I’ll need a physical copy. I’ll also need to listen to book 2 ASAP.

AMAZING. PHENOMENAL. A TRIUMPH. 

Deeply invested and cannot WAIT to read/listen to the next in the series. Astoundingly good start for the first book in a series. World building is cool as fuck, blending traditional and innovative fantasy elements in an urban (and country) setting. Use of alternating POV and flashbacks added to the mystery and suspense brilliantly. 

Also, audiobook narration was flawless? Some of the best I've heard.
