Where do I even begin with this duology? Although I haven’t read a lot of fantasy literature, this series has truly become the best I’ve ever encountered. The story unfolds in the kingdom of Blunder, a realm shrouded in thickening fog with a deep and complex history tied to magic. The citizens have a unique way of accessing this magic, which only adds to the intrigue. As I delved deeper into the chapters, my fascination grew with Elspeth’s lore and her family’s history. The author provided just enough details for world-building without overwhelming the reader. I became completely absorbed in the world I conjured in my mind. It was mysterious, gothic, and cold; the suffocating fog created a constant sense of danger, yet it remained hauntingly beautiful. I would rate this series a 7.5/10!!

This song literally fuels my spirit each time I listen.

April and May tried my resilience, but I still had wonderful moments
