The first book in The Darkwater Legacy starts off strong, the writing is engaging and you find yourself completely immersed in the pages

Even though it’s a chunky book, the chapter lengths are quite short which I appreciate in a book this size, I find it helps keep up the momentum

It’s definitely traditional fantasy; two best friends on an adventure, meeting new people, finding out new pieces of information and their friendship being put to the test

That being said, it isn’t particularly genre defying and the plot is pretty straight forward

It is a good book overall and I think if you can’t get enough of the classic fantasy story or if you are in a stint of a certain genre and fancy a change then this book would be great to pick up
