If Pirate King Elizabeth Swann was a book, it would be this one. This edgy fantasy-adventure sucked me right in and by the end, spat my heart out along with my bones. Wren is rash and brave, qualities that often get her into trouble but also end up saving the day. I couldn't help but admire her audacity and lengths she is willing to go in her quest for the truth— about her world, but also herself. You'll be screaming, "Wren NO" as she runs into battle, bone blades slashing revenants in delight. With a unique lore and magic system, and a simmering romance like two opposing magnets, you'll fall in love with this dark nightmare. Bring on the sequel.
