Thank you.Tanaya wrote:Great review! Your second paragraph was particularly convincing. I like the notion of it being "less evil versus more evil." I'll have to keep this book in mind for future reading.

What a wonderful review, and it really sounds like a book that I would really enjoy! There are so many elements that I like about what you wrote, but your line...
...has me convinced that this would be a book that I would enjoy! It sounds like a very in-depth epic fantasy, and I do like the fact that there are multiple characters' perspectives!Lovers of dark fantasy novels would be well advised to immerse themselves in this story!
Congratulations to the author for a positive review!
Thanks again gali!

It is that. Thank you.Rachaelamb1 wrote:It sounds like a very well-written and engaging story. The characters sound complex which is something I love. I'm not sure I'm into dark fantasy though...perhaps this could be the book to turn me over to the "dark side"? Great review! It is really hard not to pick up a book with a review like this!!!

Kind of like a motorcycle club romance (lol) great review BTW it convinced me to buy the book rather than read it with my kindle unlimited. Its nice to see a review that so thoroughly explores all of the parts of the book without gibing the whole story away.gali wrote:
lol I rather liked the "less evil" one though.
Thanks
