The Killing Fog
by Jeff Wheeler
Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. Thanks! All opinions are my own.
Book: The Killing Fog
Author: Jeff Wheeler
Book Series: The Grave Kingdom Book 1
Rating: 5/5
Publication Date: March 1, 2020
Genre: Fantasy
Recommended Age: 15+ (slight violence, faith, it’s a read with older characters than normal but the book doesn’t cursing or sexual content. Some might refer to this as a “clean” read but I don’t like the term as it suggests other reads are dirty when there’s nothing inherently wrong with language used or sex)

Synopsis: Survivor of a combat school, the orphaned Bingmei belongs to a band of mercenaries employed by a local ruler. Now the nobleman, and collector of rare artifacts, has entrusted Bingmei and the skilled team with a treacherous assignment: brave the wilderness’s dangers to retrieve the treasures of a lost palace buried in a glacier valley. But upsetting its tombs has a price.
Echion, emperor of the Grave Kingdom, ruler of darkness, Dragon of Night, has long been entombed. Now Bingmei has unwittingly awakened him and is answerable to a legendary prophecy. Destroying the dark lord before he reclaims the kingdoms of the living is her inherited mission. Killing Bingmei before she fulfills it is Echion’s.
Thrust unprepared into the role of savior, urged on by a renegade prince, and possessing a magic that is her destiny, Bingmei knows what she must do. But what must she risk to honor her ancestors? Bingmei’s fateful choice is one that neither her friends nor her enemies can foretell, as Echion’s dark war for control unfolds.
Review: Overall, this was a great book. The world building was spectacular and it really was the highlight of the whole novel. The book’s characters were very well developed as well and the plot was great! The plot kept me intrigued throughout the entire novel.
I really didn’t have any issues with the book except for the fact that I felt like the book’s pacing was a bit too slow for me.
Verdict: It was a great read!
