4.5⭐
The way I am invested in every one of these characters. This series has me wanting more and more!
Seeley Lynde is the master of multi-POV. Not everyone can pull this off, especially with the vast character pool in this series but Seeley does it flawlessly. My attachment to the characters, their personalities and their stories is so strong and I cannot wait for the next book so I can dive right back into their lives.
This series brings epic fantasy to new heights and I think it is a must read for any fantasy lover.

House of Blight is a great read. I'm grateful to the Nerd Fam for providing me an ARC.
I have no doubt that this book will take off once release day comes.
The world, the magic, the characters; everything was done beautifully. Our FMC is a strong (even when she doesn't want to be) character who will do anything to protect her brothers. Even if that anything lands her with the Evers who she has grown up to mistrust and hide from.
I had a great time with this book, and I didn't want to put it down. I just had to know what was happening next! I can't wait for it to be released so the rest of the book community can fall in love with the book as well.
