Listen! This book is chef's kiss. I'm glad I decided to bring it home and get lost with it. I didn't have any expectation upon diving into the world of The Sheperd King Series ( This consists of 2 books.) but I love the mystery within ths world. I love the magic system, the slow paced in building this immersive world of Blunder. The riddles! Makes me play like a detective trying to decode it lmao.
The "Villain" here is something that I did not expect I'd grow to love as the story progress.

If you want to dive in a completely unique world, where cards (like tarot) exist along with magic, with spirit, powerplay between different beings. Dive into this book, it's not for someone with no imaginative skills though, there's a lot of world play that might not be too hard for some to imagine for an immersive experience but for someone that has the ability to play each words like a movie in the head? Dive in and enjoy this series.
P.S I enjoyed the book 2 more 🖤💛✨
