A review by illstoptheworldandreadwithyou
Servant of Earth by Sarah Hawley

5.0

 

When I saw that Sarah Hawley had a fantasy book coming out, I got grabby hands. I LOVE her Glimmer Falls series and feel like I am in my fantasy era. I knew I needed to read this one. 

 

And it did not disappoint. 

 

A headstrong human who trips into the world of the Fae must help her mistress to succeed the six deadly trials representing the six houses of Mistei—Fire, Earth, Light, Void, Illusion, and (the many-centuries-banished) Blood—while navigating the different moral code, caste system, and strict ruling regime of the underground Fae kingdom. 

 

Armed with a sentient dagger and her own wits, Kenna soon learns that the trials are not the only dangers that she faces in Mistei. 

 

Y’all, I LOVED this one. I would have read it in one sitting if life responsibilities hadn’t gotten in the way. (Silly responsibilities, always messing with my reading time….) 

 

Here’s a list of words I jotted down while reading this one: loyalty, courage, potential love triangle, HEAT, friendship, testing the bonds of loyalty and friendship, disillusionment, politics, courage, caring, and learning who you can trust. 

 

I look forward to reading the next book in this series. 

 

I received an advance copy of the book from Berkley Publishing and Ace. All review opinions are my own.
