I received a copy of this omnibus from the author.

This book series surprised me in the best of ways. A very refreshing fantasy story that kept me at the edge of my seat, and my stomach in knots. This is not a "Chosen One" who takes on a quest, and it makes for the best adventure! Very polished YA fantasy that is far from juvenile.

The characters feel genuine with their flaws and the mistakes of their past. I truly connected with each and every one of them, although there is a special place in my heart for the POV characters Bleak, Swinton, Henri, and Dash. There is so much depth to each and every one of them. Through her skilled writing, the author conveyed their emotions precisely and was able to make me experience them along with the characters.

The author has a knack for worldbuilding and she created a one of a kind magic system. The sumptous writing immersed me in this grand story. Although they are lenghty novels, the pacing is incredible, and no detail felt superfluous.

This whole series was one of the best I have read in a long time. I am recommending it to anyone who is looking for something different than the typical YA fantasy.
