The Cathedral of Cliffdale by Melissa Delport
4.0
I have got to say that I didn't think that I would like this book, let alone finish it in two days and love it.
As a lover of the mythical/paranormal/fantasy genre, this story really caught my attention and held it throughout the story. The protagonist is a strong female character, that holds so much love for her family, which is the ultimate driver of the story. Even with that love, she at times finds herself torn between her family and her sense of duty to protect the wards. I also love how when it comes down to it, she can admit that her actions were wrong.
On top of the main character's quest, there are 'separate' stories that are being woven into the main one. I love would to see how they all play out in the future books. The separate stories play host to some compelling characters, being separate does not diminish their importance in the overall story.
Now even though I loved the book, I can't bring myself to give it 5/5. At points, the story seemed to drag at points and I was able to predict the ending once the quest was established (Could be because of my awesome detective skills)
I recently heard of Melissa's work and I'm so thankful that I was able to get a hold of such an amazing book. Can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series!
