A review by amybraunauthor
Forest of Souls by Lori M. Lee

4.0

This was an exciting book filled with action, interesting and morally grey characters, and unique world building. This makes for a great summer read, as much of it plays out like a fantasy action/adventure.

Sirscha is a ferocious character who is impulsive at times, but mostly has her heart in the right place. I understood her actions and while I didn't always agree with them, I nevertheless found her interesting. There are so many great side characters I would have loved to see more time with.

The world building and settings were unique and inventive. They weren't typical of most fantasy books and while this isn't a horror novel, it definitely carried a creepy vibe. Almost every chapter was filled with an intense action moment, especially at the end. Things did not go as I believed they might, and Lee opens the door for many thrilling moments. Definitely worth a read!
