The Stricken by Morgan Shamy was such an amazing read. I’ve read another book by this author which I loved so I had an idea of the writing style. This book just completely blew me away. I will admit that the cover was the first thing I noticed but once I read the back of it I knew I was going to be in for one incredible journey. I read this book in a day; once I started I was pretty much hooked from the beginning. This was just a full blown action packed dark YA book that has such a clever plot. There were so many twists and turns there were times I was gripping my kindle or literally on the edge of my seat. Plus that twist at the end!  The characters were so well done and interesting. I loved how I kept second guessing and having a hard time trusting. The worldbuilding was phenomenal and the book descriptions were so well done you could imagine all the words on the page. I think this book has overtaken my favorite spot from this author. If you’re a fan of fantasy books then you need to check this one out. The story is just so unique and compelling… I highly recommend! 

Final review:

5 out of 5 stars
