Holy hell! This book! How is there not more hype about this?! Pretty cover and magic!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!
The magic, politics, mystery, backstabbing, selfish acts, dialogue--everything was amazing. The magic was particularly cool and I lived that the main character wasn't just hiding all his powers and they are unlocked and he becomes the savour thing. It's so refreshing. The magical hierarchy influencing the political history was fantastically rolled out to show the whole "history is written by the winners" but it also pointed out "that the truth always comes out." The elder roles are played by 2 HILARIOUS women with some killer dialogue and wisdom. Their sassiness kept me laughing and smiling.
I'm also a sucker for hidden family secrets so this was killer! AND THIS FAMILY'S DRAMA! MY GOODNESS, FAMILY DRAMA! The entire family is backstabbing each other for politics and power and hierarchy and history AND I LOVED IT!
Also, squirrel cats. Yes, I'd like ten of those asap. Thank you.
I don't remember the last time I was so quickly sucked into and started loving a book. I was in lOve by like the third page.
