annarella 's review for:

The Unwilling by Kelly Braffet
4.0

I quite like this book, it's a mix of grimdark and dark fantasy, engrossing and entertaining.
It's a story that contains some strong scenes of abuse and violence so I think that if you are not a fan of grimdark you could find it too violent.
The plot flows and keeps you hooked because you want to know what will happen. The cast of characters is well thought and interesting and I like Judah above all as she's a strong willed and clever woman.
I think this is going to be the first instalment in a series and I am curious to read what will come next.
It's a bit slow at times and I think that it could have been more entertaining if some parts were shortened.
I recommend it to lover of grimdark fantasy.
Many thanks to the MIRA and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
