first in a trilogy, i will continue. there were sections of history lesson/backstory that i kinda skimmed, because it was a little too much, but the overall world-building was great, and the characters made me care.

4.5/5Whatever you think this series is, it's not it. Forget your preconceptions, because you haven't read anything quite like it before. Spiritwalker books are gorgeous, and I'm saying this after reading book 1 and 2 already. They are wild, intense and grandiose in their world-building, multiple plo...

I so badly wish this had been written better. I really enjoyed the story and the characters' progression through it - it's just such a waste to spoil the effect with piles of awkward exposition, sudden bouts of purple prose and wince-inducing truisms (the latter resulting in possibly the weakest fin...

Absolutely loved this book and couldn't put it down. This is a good book. This is a really good book. I can list so many things I love about it, so it might be practical first to start with what I didn't love. First is the constant use of the word "personage." It's awkward and throws me out of the s...
