House of Blight
by Maxym M. Martineau
House of Blight hit the nail on the head for gothic fantasy. It managed to be creepy and suspenseful while also having cute and romantic scenes sprinkled throughout. It was very well balanced.
Edira is a threadmender in hiding due to the Evers stealing away those with magic. But then the Blight grabs hold of her brothers and she has no choice to but enter a bargain with Orin Fernglove.
Edira is a bleeding heart. She wants to help everyone she can even knowing every time she uses her abilities, it lessens her lifespan. I love how much of a spitfire she is. Never backing down. Standing by her morals and who she wants to be. I truly appreciated her character.
The Ferngloves were super interesting! Every character has their distinct quirks and it was fun seeing them come to light. There is still so much about the Evers and magic that I can't wait to see more of in the next book.
I found the plot twists to be a tad predictable but it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the story or the writing. This was a refreshing read in the genre and now I want more gothic esque stories to fill my shelves!
Thank you to the author, Netgalley, Avon and Harper Voyager for the earc. This is my honest and voluntary review.
