So, from the warning from the author, I knew this book would be dark and holy smokes was it.
I'm a fan of dark fantasy so I knew what I was getting in to with it. Thrown straight in to the story, I wasn't really sure what was going on and who was who. Suffice to say, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the info.
Something else to keep in mind is that I generally don't like multiple POV's and this book had quite a few of them.
From what I've said so far, you'd expect me to continue with it being that I didn't like the book.
However, I found that after a little while, that I actually understood what was happening and was getting to know all of the different characters and was seriously rooting for things to go better for them and wondering what was going to happen next.
I loved that the characters were older, I'm nearly 32 so it was great reading a book were the characters aren't all under 20!
The names/language were difficult to get around, even with the help given at the back of the book but you do get a better grasp of it as you read more so I wouldn't let that put you off reading the book.
I think it was very well written with surprisingly complex characters and I found the lore really interesting. Some twists and turns that you keep you on the edge of your seat. I look forward to reading more from Cerynn
