The Night Hunt by Alexandra Christo
3.5
adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I just want to start out by saying every time this book said "Earth Kingdom," I immediately thought about Avatar: The Last Airbender. Does this book really have anything in common with that show other than the different kingdoms? No. But it's honestly all I could think about every time they mentioned the different kingdoms. 

Anyway. This was pretty good! Not the best fantasy I've read this year, but it's got that romance fantasy vibe that so many people are loving at the moment. Where this book really shines is the characters; Christo does a great job developing them and there's good chemistry in the main romance. The plot and world building aren't quite there, but I enjoyed the story for the characters. 

All in all, if you're looking for a fantasy that's heavier on the romance than the world, this might just be the book for you!
