What can I say about this book to express how much I enjoyed it without giving everything away?
Firstly I read this book as an ARC, with the promise to leave an honest review of it.
The High Mountain Court is full of all the things about Fantasy that I love. Magic, quests, stunning setting.
I will admit that it did take me a little to get into the story, to start with. It seemed to take me a long time to read the first 40% of the book. I can't give any specific reasons why this was the case; I was lost in the story from the first sentence. I think it was more to do with the needed world and character building. But once I crossed that 40% mark, I inhaled every single word and quite suddenly found myself at the end, sadly.
The characters are strong and likeable. You easily get to know every character that walks onto the pages. However, one note I would share is that not all is what it seems. While some of these elements I figured out early on, others came about unexpectantly. I would very much love to go on an adventure with any one of the fantastic characters that litter the pages of this book.
Hale and Remy's relationship is stunning and magical. That's all I will share on that front.
The world is stunning, and the detailed descriptions paint a clear picture of the different kingdoms. You can feel the heat, the cold, smell the ocean and forests. All this makes it that much easier to get lost in the words.
I cannot wait to read the next book!
You will not regret picking this up.
