Daughter of Shades by Sylvia Mercedes

5.0

I had the wonderful opportunity to read this as a part of Ms. Mercedes's ARC. I read the prequel last month and was already captivated by the new world that Sylvia created. This novel offers an original new world for fantasy readers to explore. There are elements like witches, possessions, and powers, but she uses all of those elements in a different way, which is exciting for a reader like me who has read my fair share of fantasy novels. Her writing style is enjoyable. She is descriptive enough to help create a clear picture of the world she has created, but the descriptions are not daunting like they sometimes can be. I appreciate the use of her figurative language, which helps build the world, the characters, and the mood of the novel. Overall, I would recommend this to any of my friends (and students).
