A review by scottish_kat
Darksoul by Anna Stephens

5.0

This book is incredible, I loved every traumatic second of it.

I know I don't have the vocabulary to convey how good this book is but I'll try...

Anna Stephens has done a phenomenal job of making the reader feel invested in each and every character. I cried at the death of minor characters, I cried at the sacrifice of unnamed soldiers and I cried at every heart wrenching, impossible thing that Mace had to endure. In short - I cried throughout most of the book. I also cheered, wailed and winced so thankfully I wasn't reading it on public transport!

The pace of this book is relentless and demanding which suits the story perfectly.

The settings are described vividly and the plot is well put together with nothing that takes you out the story but the real triumph is the characters.

I gave Godblind 5 stars and I thought that was flawless - Darksoul is better and I want to know when I can pre-order book 3.
