“I'm just the wind in the trees, the shadow, and the fright. The echo in the leaves...the nightmare in the night.”

Loved Book 1 enough to turn my laptop on just to get Book 2 to my Kindle at 3 in the morning.
The characters are nicely written. I love the Shepherd King so much. The world-building was amazing. When I say I need or breathe fantasy books- I mean books like this! The cliffhanger is chef's kiss!!

It's a book club read. I didn't intend to read this book anytime soon but saw someone post ...more

3.75⭐️ I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would, this was perfect for a october/November read. I loved the mc Elspeth and her interactions with ‘the monster’ were both funny and kinda creepy

The only things I didn’t love was the romance, it was okay but it didn’t blow my mind. Also the world building was kinda lacking.

Would definitely read the next book tho

I had high expectations. However, I thought the writing was a bit bland, did not care for the characters and the magical system and world-building was in the beginning difficult to understand.

5 stars. 5 stars. 5 stars.

I am obsessed with this book. The writing was beautiful, the plot was intriguing, the characters were amazing. I love Ravyn and Elspeth, even with all of the secrets they guard. It all unfolded beautifully.

Read this. Now.
