Let’s grapples with the Underworld when her brother is recruited to help fend off a spreading blight at the manor of a lord.
My Review:
I thought this book was okay, but really nothing SPECIAL. Did I like it? Absolutely. But everything just felt like it was mimicking what was proven to be popular. I know that’s how a lot of books are, but it just felt like I was reading some overhyped book and it isn’t even out yet.
Overall, it was a great book thought. The magic system was really unspecific with the alchemists and I don’t know WHY they’re called alchemists, but it was fun to read about. There were a lot of nice friendships and creepy vibes, which I’m always down for. The romance also did develop well, but again, it felt like a cliche. I had a lot of fun reading this book, it just wasn’t very special.
