Probably one of the best fantasy books I’ve read this year. The characters were all really well written and fully fleshed out. I would’ve liked to have understood more of how and why Cas survived the plague, but the story was good despite not knowing. I loved that the world building was subtle and not over the top or info dumped on you like some authors have unfortunately done. The pacing of the story was great too and the twists kept me guessing right up until the moments the truth was revealed! I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fast paced but well written standalone fantasy.
