This was my read for my book club this month. One Dark Window has been on my radar for a while so was pretty happy when it was picked.
I loved the world building in this and Gillig’s writing style is beautiful. The magic system was really interesting and liked how an infection would give people magic and powers that come at a prices.
However I couldn’t connect with the characters really. It definitely got easier and the story went on but I had a struggle becoming invested in the story. I think this could be because my last read was 5 stars and this can’t compare to that for me right now. In saying that I did like the romance and the ending was really interesting although I’m not too sure if I’ll continue the Duology.
