House of Blight by Maxym M. Martineau
4.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

An excruciating slow burn. A magic system that puts you through all the emotions. Enemies to Lovers. 

Edira, our FMC, is exhausting. Her history. Her sacrifices to help others. A true heroine.  Of course, there are times you want to throttle her. But you get over it. Orin, the MMC, I'm still questioning. But his sisters .... horrible.

The first part of what is sure to become a epic Gothic Fantasy Duology.  I'd highly recommend.
