This book!!!!! 

I didn't think I would fall in love with this book the way I did, but I did. I absolutely loved every single page of this book. 

I've always enjoyed books where fantasy worlds existed in our own worlds, albeit a different era. And I absolutely loved the idea of Light battling the Dark. 

The plot twists in this book were plenty and every single one surprised me. Although, the Big Reveal was something I had not seen coming! It was definitely unexpected and I didn't connect the dots until the Big Reveal. 

The main characters were also fun to read about as well as the battle sequences, the magic, the lore, and the history. 

I cannot wait for the sequel!
