Blood over Bright Haven had a solid plot, though there were some choices I would’ve done differently—Sciona is meant to think differently, but a few decisions felt rushed or a bit silly. The book was tense, fast-paced, and well-written. While most relationships felt a bit shallow, Sciona and Thomil’s bond was wonderfully developed. The message was quite dramatic and on the nose, but it hit hard—I cried a lot during the final quarter. I really enjoyed the setting and the magical system. It's a good read, but you should be stable when reading and prepared to be crushed.
