lazthewhale 's review for:

House of Lies and Sorrow by Emily Blackwood
3.75
adventurous mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I really enjoyed reading it, but I wish there was more. I wanted more because some areas felt lacking, but I wanted more because I wanted to deep dove in the book and love there for a bit. Like the book itself is a really strong base, but I felt that the history/background of the kingdom and characters could have been explored with more character development. Overall the plot was interesting, the story moved quickly, and I was hooked. Read the book in 1 sitting and I'm excited to see where book 2 goes.
