I think this is one of the best books I’ve read this year. The storyline is so intricately weaved, yet somehow so different. While it’s clear that there will be a part that the three storyline’s meet, it was written so well in that you couldn’t decipher how.
We follow Aiz, Quil and Sirsha as they navigate a path filled with betrayal, death, war, magic, and destruction. Filled with political and religious intrigue, magic, magic users, ‘holy’ spirits, cross-continent travel, forced proximity & fake engagement tropes, Heir will keep you on your toes until the very end. Full of twists and turns you don’t see coming. And that ending? I gasped. I need book 2 immediately & I am just PRAYING there is a happy ending to come.
