House of Blight
by Maxym M. Martineau
The land and its people have been suffering under the ever-growing blight. The humans that are infected have very little chance of survival. When the affluent Fernglove family, masters of social and magical influence, becomes aware of Edira's abilities. Edira's power as a "threadmender" allows her to save others, but her power depletes her own life. Orin, the mysterious head of the Fernglove family, presents himself as both an ally and a potential love interest. Enjoy the relationship tension build as it is a slow burn. Orin's genuine efforts to aid her brothers' survival appear to challenge his family's cutthroat demeanor. Fernglove Manor is a house of secrets as dark and deadly as the blight. A lurking menace heightens the Fernglove family secrets, creating a gothic feel with dark magic and the struggle for power. As Edira uncovers more, the storyline takes on the edge of suspense.
Edira's character has a strong sense of agency and moral resolve. Her cost-bearing magic system is rooted in real sacrifice and selflessness. d Edira's determination to protect those she loves knows no bounds. Aside from Edira, Rorik is the best character. I love his sharp wit and his mysteriousness throughout the story. It was a fun read, especially with the added allure of strange, magical creatures. There were a few pacing issues, but nothing you feel that you have to dredge through. I have very high hopes for the next book from this author.
