House of Ash & Brimstone by Megan Starks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It has been awhile since I have been so caught up in a story. World building on par with Mercedes Lackey and Marion Zimmer Bradley, the intrigue and action reminiscent of Seanan McGuire, this Author is new to me, but she is certainly not lacking in the talent department.
The main trio of characters, Gisel, Shade and to an extent Beast, were well thought out and their relationships and interactions with each other were what made this story for me. The tension and the anguish over certain decisions, the intrigue that keeps haunting them and the visions that Gisel suffers from. All of this helps propel this story into a must-read phenomenon. The ending while somewhat of a closure, leaves plenty open ended that can be picked up in the next book. I hope the author can deliver again in the next book in the series as high hopes are pinned on her.
I received a free ARC from BookSirens in exchange for my honest opinion.
