One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig
5.0
This book was excellent!! Beyond what I could have imagined because I’ve never read another book like it! I’ll be starting the next book in the morning.
The only thing that can save their village and beat back the mist is a completed set of 12 cards; one missing for hundreds of years, the blood of one infected with magic, and the mingled souls of a maiden and a monster．
The superb piece of literature was dark and full of magic, deception, secrets, brutish royalty, and unlikely allies. I didn’t even mind that The Nightmare spoke in rhyming riddles. It does seem inconceivable to me that Elspeth and The Nightmare just never spoke of deep thing over 11 years, or maybe she just chose not to see the truth in his words…Anyway, the aspect of romance is a side plot, there to move along the story, but not overwhelm it, but damned if you don’t fall in love with Ravyn.
Elspeth has spent her life hiding, and when she meets the Captain of the Guard, her secrets and cozy life in the forest are quickly ripped away. In order to save her village and herself she must help a group of rebels find the remaining cards. Will their shared goal breed trust, contempt, or something more?
