I received this book from NetGalley for review
Review:
This book is SO GOOD. I wasn't sure where it was headed when I started it. It was kind of weird, and I just didn't know what to expect.
This book is so unique in all the best ways. The amazing bond between siblings, a touch of found family. Just all-around great characters.
Azzy is such a great character and easily one of my new favorites. Armin, since he only has a handful of POV chapters, I didn't get to know his character as well as I would have liked, but perhaps we'll get to know his character if we get a sequel. And I desperately want a sequel. Kai is also a very fascinating character. He is part of why I need/want that sequel.
The more side characters are equally interesting. Brixby, Azzy and Armin's guardian after the death/execution of their mother. We learn a bit of his past, and what we learn has me very intrigued by what his full story could be. Safiya is also very interesting, and we know next to nothing of her character until pretty much the end of the book. And there is one character who I suspect is going to be a main character later on; one more reason I want this to get the sequel it deserves. I really want to know more about Lord Wallach. He is a huge mystery right now.
Now, I want to talk about the writing, this is a very well written book. It's unique in a way that I don't know how to describe. It was just so captivating, and it just pulls you into the story and traps you in the world.
I am also finding it difficult to talk about the book in general. Everything about this book feels like it's something you should experience when you read it. And I want people to go into this book mostly blind.
Seriously, read this book when it comes out. It's so good.
