So while reading this book, I am picturing Tim Burton vibes in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - all for good reason.
Set in Edwardian London society, this dark historical fiction details the rise and spiral of Kathryn, a woman attempting to excel in the male dominated field of medicine - and while she was very good at it, the twist comes boiling down when her sanity started to slip.
Honestly, I was so engrossed leafing thrrough pages that i done finished in in one reading. I am a fan of what others may find as confusing timelines

Pirates. Gods. Angels. Those alone was enough to intrigue me in reading this book and its such an amazing start for a series.
The FMC is slightly unhinged [just how I like em] and the MMC is just a huge cinammon roll. Both have these endearing personality that just put a smile in my face while I read through their adventures.
The author's attention to details and cultural nuances is much appreciated. It just made reading the book that much more exciting.

If you read The Selection series by Kiera Cass, it has similarities to this one except add magic and witches. There's a reason why I don't read YA fantasy often especially those that were published 5 or so years ago.
I think during that time there's this certain baseline of insta-love royalty plot that majority of YA authors at that time tends to adhere to. While this was a fun ride, the originality of concept just didn't bring it home for me. It has the groundwork though. If this may have been written during the post pandemic times, I am pretty sure the approach and the plot lines could've been more sharper. Despite the loopholes though, this may work for those that are starting with YA fantasy romance.

Urban fantasy has fast tracked itself as a sub genre fave of mine and this book just has all the goods. The plot twists hit you like a surprise party you didn't see coming. The dynamic between the twins and their dad adds an emotional layer, turning a seemingly simple family reunion into a supernatural adventure.
The rural setting creates a vivid backdrop for this deadly game of cat and mouse with a demonic twist. As the twins grapple with the unknown, the reader is kept on the edge, wondering who's the hunter and who's the prey. The author weaves a tale that keeps you guessing till the last page. If you're into suspenseful family reunions, ancient sects, and mythical creatures, this book is a thrilling pick!

After all this time, my man Murtagh finally gets his own book!!! More than a decade ago, The Inheritance Cycle Series was my entrypoint to the dragon world. The rush of nostalgia definitely did a number on me when I wrapped this up earlier today
I must say, even if the events took place after the Inheritance Cycle events, this can stand on its own / even without reading the main series.
The world is no longer safe for the Dragon Rider Murtagh and his dragon, Thorn. An evil king has been toppled, and they are left to face the consequences of the reluctant role they played in his reign of terror. Now they are hated and alone, exiled to the outskirts of society.
Throughout the land, hushed voices whisper of brittle ground and a faint scent of brimstone in the air—and Murtagh senses that something wicked lurks in the shadows of Alagaësia. So begins an epic journey into lands both familiar and untraveled, where Murtagh and Thorn must use every weapon in their arsenal, from brains to brawn, to find and outwit a mysterious witch. A witch who is much more than she seems.
The plot, the hype, the wait time for this masterpiece to be written; definitely lived up to expectations. I am still absorbing the after effects

The cover ain't the only thing pretty! The vibes is just top notch
I'm quite happy with the turn out although I must say WTF with all those character dumps and killing characters unnecessarily??
Dunno why this ain't popular. Even the GOT master recommends this
