The Blackbird and the Ghost by Hûw Steer

5.0

This is one epic fantasy book! Tal Wenlock and his adventures make a really compelling story.

Tal is a very unique character. He is different from most tomb raiders, more interested in the history of an artefact than the artefact itself. I find his past quite interesting.

I loved the descriptions in this book. The tomb, the traps, the port, the sea…the little details were perfect, and it was very easy to picture the story.

The characters are also intriguing, and make you want to know more about them. The plot twists are excellent.

I found this book very relaxing and easy to understand. It’s a great read, not too complicated but mysterious enough to keep you wondering, “what’s next?” It’s a whole new world to dive into, and I’m grateful for it!

The end of the story hints at a sequel, and I’m hoping to read it as soon as it comes out! This book is a real page-turner, so you should definitely read it.
