adventurous dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This is a really great series. I only wish the phrase “Oh Holy One” wasn’t in every other paragraph. That’s my only thumbs down in the series so far. I question whether the almost sex scenes are actually YA appropriate, but I’m not a parent.

If the Black Witch was good, the Iron Flower is incredible. Elloren grows into the strong woman we want her to become and the world building is so well written it becomes your new home. Laurie Forest is definitely one of my auto-buy authors from now on.
