ARC review: This is the third installment in the Tales of Aedrea series. The writing style was great, the world very immersive with likeable characters and companions and an overall heartwarming cozy fantasy story. Although the stakes were a little too low for my personal taste (Sword & Thistle was the perfect level for me) the story kept me interested and wanting to be read. Highly recommend checking out this book (and series) if you like the cozy fantasy genre.
4.5 ⭐
The Tainted Khan is the second book in The Soulbound Saga series and picks up directly from the events in Dragon Rider (book 1).
The pacing in this one is slower than book one but for good reasons, it takes its time with the story telling and the world building and lore is very immersive. We see a fair bit of character development in Jai due to the situations he faces throughout the story, he continues to build on his connection with Winter and his soulbound skills, whilst also dealing with the threat of rival clans and the sabine empire. The story has a lot more political intrigue this time around which was implemented well and added to the enjoyment. It definitely kept me hooked from start to finish and I can't wait for the next installment (especially with that ending!).
I highly recommend checking out this series if you haven't already!
Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins for an eARC of The Tainted Khan in return for an honest review.
