House of blight by Maxim Martineau
The premise of this book was interesting. A disease that takes over a body and kills it almost instantly. A girl that can mend a wound/sickness by using magic. A fae family who bargains with her to help try to cure the blight.
The family was interesting and Orin was a great character so was Rorik. The love triangle wasn’t terrible although I do wish for more Rorik scenes. There seemed to be a lot of unnecessary family members/nes that didn’t really seem to be needed. Maybe in the next book they’ll show why they were?
The evil villain, so I wish he had been more evil. I feel like he did everything for the greater good? But maybe I lost some context. His misdeeds were well explained and I felt bad for him in the end a little?
I feel like this was a 3.5 star, I rounded up because I enjoyed it without having to think too hard. The world building is decent but misses some things. Time period/area are missing.
If you want a good love triangle/slow burn mystery this book is for you.
Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins for the arc.
I received an arc and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
