Life has a price and Death is the tollman waiting to take it. I loved this magic has a price especially as it’s necromancy. To drag something from death back to life Hellevir has to pay the price and it’s a high one.

This book was beautifully written from a craft perspective and clearly well thought out in terms of world building and plot. Even the characters had depth and complexity that was wonderfully done. I wish the second half of this duology was out already so I could already be reading it.
