4/4.5 stars.

Dark, filled with twists and turns, a sweeping fantasy.

There is a lot of world building in this book as well as backstory so at times it can feel as if you've read for an age and yet not got anywhere - hence it not being a full 5 stars for me.

But I loved the dark, high stakes thrill of the story. The characters and their interactions are complex and compelling.

If you are looking for a book filled to the brim with God's, cults, forbidden romance and mystery - then this is for you. I cannot wait for the sequel.
