I never read the "Old Kingdom" series but I wanted to read this book as I love whatever Garth Nix writes.
I had high expectations and wasn't disappointed: Terciel&Elinor is a fast paced, action packed story with some "horror" moments and a lot of fun.
It's also a good introduction to the series as it slowly explains the world, the magic and what is going on.
Terciel and Elinor are two lovely characters, they're both clever and their character arc is interesting.
I also love Tizanel and I would like to read her story.
The world building is impressive and I love the complexity and the magic system.
I'm always happy when I have to read a new series and this one is full of promises.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Bonnier Books UK and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
