thanks to netgalley for providing me with a arc of this book in exchange for a review!
first of all this cover!!! so beautiful and definitely drew me into requesting an arc of this. the nightward takes place in a rich world blending medieval fantasy and some mysterious science fiction elements. the world these characters in is deep and complex, from the way magic works, to the creatures, and the political upheaval that begins right at the start of the book and races all of the way through (and thankfully the readers get a pov of every angle!). luka is the standout character of the book for me, and i actively looked forward to the parts about his relationships with both viella and eleanor. i'm really excited to see what he and viella get to do in the sequel to this book!
