Ok, y'all I get the hype! I of course, as I always am when I am late to something, KICKING MYSELF for not reading this one sooner.
I'm typically always a fan of a dark gothic fantasy realm setting and this one delivered. I have nothing but positive things to say. The pace, world building, character development, the little bits of mystery and suspense sprinkled throughout with a unique a magical system; it was all just so well written and thought out.
I absolutely loved the nightmare. It often felt like this monster turned into Elspeth's inner monologue conscious in a way. He was supposed to be mysterious and scary but he ended up being my favorite part of the book.
If this is considered a YA fantasy, it might be the best one i've read. I'm so lucky to own the second one already because that ending....there's no way I can't continue this immediately.
