I listened to the audiobook version of this book. This books has to be one of my favorite fantasy books of the year and one of my favorite audiobooks of the year. I know book 2 is out and I am looking forward to listening to book 2. This book was my first read by this author and my second 5 star read of the month.

Holy cow, this book is a LOT - and I mean that in a good way! These characters are strong and they're not giving up without a fight. The magic is lush and genuine. I can't help but feel such grief and agony for the justice that has been prevented for this family/community, and I'm SO EXCITED for the sequel.

I cannot stop raving about this book and I’m so excited that book two comes out this year!
I will say that if you plan to read this book, I would highly recommend reading a physical or ebook copy because there were so many characters to keep track of. I also annotated the family trees at the beginning of the book so I could remember facts about the characters as I attempted to piece the mystery together.
The drama. The characters. The TWISTS. This debut was phenomenal and it is such a strong start to the series. I feel that the main plot line was well wrapped up while still leaving several strings dangling for the next book.

3.75 So overall I enjoyed this, BUT it did feel like it just had too much going on so it was a little hard to care about everything, especially in the beginning when I still didn't know how I felt about the characters. Interested to see what happens in the next one.
