laurenairey 's review for:

The Umbra King by Jamie Applegate Hunter
5.0

I so wish i had picked this up sooner because i absolutely LOVED IT. Possibly one of my fave fantasy reads of the year. It had me gripped from the very start, I was a little worried at first that i was going to find the magic/fantasy too confusing but It was actually really easy to grasp with the different realms. I loved the concept of the prison, but i also hated it because i knew it would probably end up being a big thing later on in the book. I loved Rory and how strong and determined she was, I loved the group of friends she had outside and inside the prison. Caius, that man, obsessed from the very start. 100% made it to my list of book husbands, his protective behaviour was everything. I adored the side characters in this book, especially Lauren (not just because she obviously has the best name) and sam!

The ending actually ripped my heart out and stomped on it, i had a few ideas on how it was going to go and i couldn't quite work out what would be the better option. I still haven't picked up the second book yet as I'm scared hahah. I defo plan to pick it up soon because i need answers!
