House of Blight
by Maxym M. Martineau
3.5 ⭐️ thank you HarperCollins and NetGalley for the gifted arc! I’ll be completely honest—I struggled with this book for the first 60% or so and contemplated dnf’ing multiple times. But once it actually picked up I couldn’t put it down and the ending was crazy. So that’s the main reason for the lower rating. But everything is not as it seems with this book.
The romance between Edira and Orin wasn’t doing it for me, and it was the focus of a big chunk of the book. The whole family is honestly nuts, but I’m glad some turned out okay in the end. I am looking forward to seeing how the romance develops in the next book
This book has SUCH a unique magic system, which is the main reason I kept reading. I was more interested in Edira’s research with magic and the blight more than anything.
The writing style was wonderful and very descriptive and atmospheric. This was definitely a really unique romantasy, which I appreciate when a lot are starting to sound the same.
