The Hand of the Sun King: Book One by J.T. Greathouse

Special thanks to JABerwocky Literary Agency, Inc. for providing an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

There are times when you read a book that's absolutely stunning in every way and you just know, nothing you write in a review could ever do justice to or capture the amazingness of that book. This is one of those times! I haven't read much fantasy this year (because reasons) but this is undoubtedly one of the best books I've read all year! I'm honestly shocked this is a debut novel because the writing is stunning, the world-building is immaculate and the characters so wonderfully flawed and realistic. This book wasn't even on my radar until I saw this gorgeous cover and knew I had to read it, so imagine my surprise when I requested it and got approved
