A Plague of Giants by Kevin Hearne

5.0

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started Kevin Hearne's newest epic fantasy (and it truly was epic), but I was, as always, pleasantly surprised! This was a really unique book, essentially a story told within a story than expanded throughout most of the world. There were many characters (my favourites being Nel and Abhi), and each one was layered, complex, and had their own clear voice even as they grew into their arcs, though each of them carried Hearne's signature charm. One of my favourite parts was the way the magic––the Kennings––worked and the price they exacted on their users. There is still a lot of unanswered questions, which I can't wait to learn the answers to in future books. And if that wasn't enough, there was plenty action, all of which lead to one glorious climax. Seriously, remind me never to mess with stubborn giants. I really enjoyed this, even when I got my heart broken near the end (there were a couple tears to be sure), and I can't wait to see what happens next.
