I was in a deep hangover/slump after the last series I just finished. I started 5 different books and just couldn’t get into anything. Finally, I landed on One Dark Window and I could not be happier. The unique world and magic drew me in immediately and I was hooked. I’ve never read anything quite like this book, and really, I’m not even sure how to categorize it.

The story left me wanting so much more and I’m IMMEDIATELY hopping into book 2!

The Providence Cards, the Nightmare, the Shepherd King, Elspeth’s abilities, and the looming presence of the mist kept me intrigued from start to finish. I also appreciated all the tree puns (especially Prince Elm
