I read and loved the Familiars by Stacey Hall and I loved this book.
She can surely write historical fiction that will keep you hooked and entertaining.
It's a well written and complex story with a vivid historical background and a great cast of characters.
It's a character driven novel and the characters and their relationship are at the core of the plot even if it's full of action and fast paced.
It was an excellent read, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

A mix of fantasy and horror, a contemporary retelling of Hansel and Gretel.
It's a great read, entertaining and engrossing.
I loved the world building, the characters and the plot that kept me on the edge.
Highly recommended.

I'm in two minds about this book: on one side I appreciated the idea and the world building, on the other side I found it a bit too confusing as there are too many POV and it was hard not to mix them.
On a general level it's an entertaining and engrossing book that I found pleasant and interesting.
The characters are well developed and the plot, even if confusing, is interesting.
I recommend it keeping in mind that it can be a bit confusing.

It's a dark, heart breaking and bleak tale, very well written and gripping.
It's like being punched and loving it. The mystery is solid and kept me guessing.
This is a story that features strong characters and you cannot help being involved.
Highly recommended.

It's a pleasant read, a good example of old style sci-fi.
But I can't say I loved or liked neither I hated it.
A bit bland comparing to the current sci-fi, I was expecting something more from this author.

I had high expectation but unfortunately I was a bit disappointed.
I knew this was not a unicorn&fairy type of books but it was so bleak that I DNFed.
I think it's not the right type of book for this time of my life.
Not my cup of tea.

I was fascinated by the blurb but I found the book hard to read and it fell flat even if I appreciated the style of writing.
Not my cup of tea.

Even if it's well written and I appreciated the world building I couldn't connect to the characters and the story fell flat.
Not my cup of tea.

Mr Rollins can surely write a book that will keep you on the edge till the last page, one you cannot put down.
I loved this mix of action&adventure, mythology and mystical events. It's a well written story, highly entertaining and I loved every moment.
Highly recommended.
