I loved EVEN THE DARKEST STARS and thought it was absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed the story and the setting - the SETTING was amazing. The setting of this book was inspired by Nepal and Mount Everest and the mountain itself became a character. Heather Fawcett did an amazing job bringing the reader into the story and immersing them in the world. This was such an easy book to fly through because I was invested in the characters, their survival, and learning more about this fascinating world.

This is a high stakes adventure with little bits of magic woven in. While this isn't your typical loud fantasy book, or romantically-driven, it's a good story with characters who feel multi-faceted and eat and vulnerable. Every time I sat down to read, I found myself immediately wrapped into the story and looking forward to the next time I could sit down and read more. If you enjoy adventure fantasy and don't mind books without a strong romantic subplot (there is romance, just not a LOT), then I highly recommend picking this book up. I absolutely loved in and will read it again.
