Boy I did not see this book coming. Picked up Hell Bent because I liked the cover not realizing it was second book in a series. So of course I had to start from the beginning and this book took me on a WILD ride I couldn’t put it down. The lore is amazing. The prose is on point. None of the cringe clichés that you often see in fantasy and a decent amount of humor to get you through the dark points. Check content warnings. This is a serious adult fantasy. Everything that I want to see in the venger and handled with care. The twists. Whew. I couldn’t guess what was coming next and yes that’s plural because there are multiple that when revealed kept me hungry for more. Starting the next book ASAP.
