I was so excited when I found this book, though very nervous too. I am so pleased to say this novel shattered my expectations. The depth it brings to the league of legends champions featured and the way it weaves them all together to tell a pivotal story in Runeterra is incredible. The characters feel filled with such life and their motives and morals become so known to the reader. The way magic and combat are written is exhilarating. I love the choice of Kalista as the main protagonist. It seemed an odd one before reading but I felt so right as I got to know Kalista before the ruination and can stand right with her afterwards. Everything felt thoughtful and the care for the world was immense. The novel can 100% stand by itself if you are not a League of Legends fan as well. A great read.
