The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley
5.0
This was such an incredible read! I finished it in the small hours of the morning and now at 11:30am I am still feeling emotions!
I love how Pulley created such a complex and detailed world, and then put complex and detailed characters there to quite literally figure themselves out. I'm pretty sure there was an audible gasp from me when I figured out the truth. Then came the tears.
There are definitely some sections of this book though that had me shook, a lot of the battles and the deaths (which I had anticipated, and read anyway), and the details of those. But in saying that, the novel was beautifully written so I can't fault that which made me squeemish (especially as I knew about it coming in to the book).
As always the, subtle, slow burn romance and pining broke my heart multiple times then was fixed by the end of the book.
This was such a good read!! A definite reread will be needed but it will have to wait until I am emotionally steady again.
