In the Shadow of Lightning by Brian McClellan
4.0

It's an exciting book that reminded me of Lies of Locke Lamora with a sorcery twist, believe me I was sold. Told in multiple points of view, we delve into the political intrigue of Ossa (and loooooord do I love a political intrigue fantasy novel). Mix in the epic brawls and the warfare and you get a dynamic story. At times I felt like the chapters were a bit lengthy, and some of the twists not properly foreshadowed, but the reveals were definitely shocking.

*Thank you to Tor and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review*
