adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense

4.5

Loved this more than I was expecting. Dark and a bit spooky with an interesting magic system and a great slooow burn romance that I enjoyed immensely.

Didn’t love some of the rhyming poems and some of the dialogue felt a bit too modern in the context of this old fashioned world!

This was a unique (at least to me) read that was gothic, mysterious and a fun read! It starts off slowly but really picks up about halfway through and got more interesting. The ending wasn’t what I expected and I’m looking forward to book 2!

Where do I even begin? This was an amazing opening to The Shepherd King duology. The vibes were unmatched and gave off serious Throne of Glass vibes. The magic system is so unique yet easy to understand. There is ancient lore to be learned throughout the story and secrets to be unveiled. The romance was a factor but not the plot which was a phenomenal choice by Rachel Gillig. The banter, loyalty, love, trust and distrust fueled the characters and their relationships in a beautiful way. Left on a cliffhanger, perfectly setting us up for the next story. The only thing preventing this from 5 stars was that it felt rushed at times and I felt as though there could have been more details or struggles or character development to thicken the plot. But I absolutely loved this story and can’t wait to jump into the next one.
