This book has a lot of delicious food references, which were the highlight for me. 

4/4.5 stars.

This doesn't quite get the full 5 stars as I felt there was something from the first book that was missing in this one. The ending also didn't quite tie everything up as I'd hoped. But I did enjoy the twists and turns, the savage undercurrent ect.

You can see the heavy Tolkien influence within this story. It was witty and adventurous and filled with intriguing characters.

An emotional rollercoaster.

Sincerely hope that this has a sequel as there is so much more story to tell and mysteries to be solved!

Emotionally driven and filled with action. I could not put this book down.

Beautifully written, haunting and at times difficult to read - but so essential. I cannot wait for the sequel.
