I’ve been a fan of Alex Lidell for some time and appreciate her ability to create incredible worlds and characters. This was no exception, and I had an incredible time getting lost in the new fantasy world we are introduced to.

The world building in Book 1 lays out a strong groundwork for this new series. It’s always exciting for me to read while the FMC in the training and realization phase of her purpose. I’m excited to see how much larger the reader’s world view gets as the four of them continue on their journey as right now it is a fairly limited scope. Per usual we did leave off with a cliffhanger, but I was expecting it which made it less bad and honestly, it wasn’t the absolute worst way to leave off a book.

I absolutely loved our FMC and her men. With this being a relatively slow burn and the first in the series I knew there wouldn’t be a ton of spice- but I absolutely loved what we got. I am eagerly awaiting when the entire crew gets together. I think it will be well worth the wait.
