Havenfall by Sara Holland
4.0

This is an amazing fantasy book!

First of all, I want to run diplomatic summit between magical realms too! That sounds like everything I could ever want. I love how this book is set up.

This book got the perfect mystery. I love it when there's just enough clues and general mess about what's going on so you can make your own predictions and damn, I even got something right. But not in a way that would make me think this book is stupid or predictable.

I like the characters. And there's plenty of possible love interest too so I bet you could start shipwars over them if you wanted to.

It's perfectly paced and there's never a dull moment but there's enough time for the emotional and meaningful bits too and the main character actually feels like a real person. I think this would be a perfect book to read even during a busier time in your life when you only have a little spare moment here and there to read. The problem most likely would be not getting enough sleep when you pick this before bed. Oh well, 305 pages isn't that long

It's also got just the right amount of magic and fantasy mixed with mystery. And I guess this qualifies as "low-fantasy" since it's on Earth but Havenfall really feels like it's own magical land.

Also the cover is so damn beautiful and I will be buying this book for myself. I almost just wanna read this again right away but I have other books I need to read before their due date.
