This was such a good book which was very interesting to read. And I am so glad that I have continued this series. The way in which the story developed was very interesting. The main characters with this book had to go through a lot especially Kip. Kip has developed even further throughout this book and had to go through many twists and had to go through many twists and turns he had to push through. I was shocked at moments throughout the book as I hadn’t expected certain of them definitely surprised me. As the story and plot line developed to the end of the story where these events surprised me and I want to continue the series to find out what happens next.

Absolutly wow! I was completely unsure what exactly was going to happen within this book, let alone whether I would enjoy it so much. And I am so glad that I had read the book. I was excited with being able to follow these characters through the many twists, turns and challenges throughout the book. There was many surprising events which occurred through this book which I hadn’t exactly expected. I had loved the writing style within this book and with the way the characters developed amazingly. With the ending of the book, I was completely surprised to a point I didn’t want to put it down. I am excited for the next book to be published.

This was such an interesting read and it definitely had gripped me from the very start. The very first line of the book “The hinges of the fire door squeaks as it closes.” Really grabbed my attention and made me want to find out what was going to happen next. The characters within this book, I had found them very interesting to a point I just wanted to find out more. Especially Chad as he seemed that he was going to be happening with this characters. The overall plot line and storyline I found it gripping where I wanted to keep reading to be able to find out what was going to happen next. And with the twists and turns that occurred throughout the book I enjoyed. With the way in which this book ended I am intrigued to see what else this author writes.

This was a very interesting book from the very beginning. I was first intrigued in this book because the blurb had caught my attention and made me want to find out what was going to happen to these characters. And I am so glad that I have read this book. The writing style was very interesting and it kept me gripped to the story. I loved the pacing of the book. The characters within this book I found very interesting. And with what the two main characters had to face many challenges throughout the book. And with the way the story developed alongside the characters was very interesting. It definitely surprised me at the end, as i hadn’t expected it at all. And I am definitely intrigued to see what’s going to happen in the next book.

How exactly am I going to explain this? What should I say? First of all another big chunky amazing fantasy, with multiple pov. This books has such interesting look into the complicated intertwined magic and religious system, even more throughout this book, and what implications that could happen. And with this book there was so much development within this book which definitely occurred which kept me gripped to the book, to a point I didn’t want to put the book down at all. The fact that this book was multiple PoV, I had really enjoyed it especially as it allowed information for to be told to me as a reader, from the different characters and meaning that you would just find out bits of information you will need for each characters which I absolutely loved. The plot has developed from where it had left off in the previous book. And oh my there was so much that the story was written was so amazing. I definitely loved the authors writing style and this is a reason why I will always want to pick up.a book from him. The characters within this book had a lot to face within in this book and especially with the challenges that occurred. And with everything in which they had to face all of the characters definitely developed even further. I am already looking forward to the next book in the saga.

This was a very interesting book. There was a lot twist and turns with this book. And I was excited to be able to read this book, to be able to follow the characters through a lot throughout this book and the previous two books. I was curious to see where the story would finish. I enjoyed the fact there was many twists and turns which made the story extremely interesting. With how the story developed was amazing, it surprised me in places as I hadn’t expected it. Especially with the ending of the story, it was something I hadn’t expected it. And I definitely enjoyed the story completely. And would love to read another book from this author as I would love to see what else she has to offer

This was a very interesting book. To a point I didn’t want to put it down. Following the main character through another investigation was very interesting. There was much that we had learned some much throughout following the investigation. With everything in which the main character had to go through became very intricate. I really enjoyed the writing style of this book. It allowed the story to flow amazingly. With everything in which the story brought out made me very intrigued. With the way that the story developed. And I was very surprised at the ending as I hadn’t expected it. And this has decently made me want to continue the series and read the next book.

Well, Well, Well. The blurb of this book definitely caught my eye. And even though it had definitely intrigued me, I was at first unsure whether I would enjoy the book. It did take me a couple of chapters before I really got involved within the story and really wanted to find out more of what was going on, and what would be happening. The more and more that I read I started to enjoy the book, and the writing style of this book became very interesting and something that I enjoyed to read. Martina and Nathan became very interesting characters, especially with how you meet them and with how they cross. The challenges in which they had to go through seemed to push them as characters and it definitely helped show their development. With the way that the story ended it definitely brought a lot to the story and made it feel complete.

This was a very interesting read from the start. The blurb definitely made me want to read this book. And with how the story developed with the multiple pov and the twits and turns that occurred was amazing. I didn’t want to put the book down. The characters themselves within this book had many challenges in which they had to face. With each chapter I read, I just wanted to be able to keep reading not wanting to put it down. This became a challenge within itself to try and find time to be able to read this, but that didn’t matter as this book was so good. I really enjoyed the authors writing style. With how this book ended I am fascinated to continue the series and read the next book
