Mikky's Reviews > Curse of Shadows and Thorns

I loved this one SO much! It's very reminiscent of the Blood And Ash Series By Jennifer L. Armentrout. Though I don't know if that's because the same person narrates it and I've just connected the two or because the stories are similar. I mean, it's a very basic romantasy so things are bound to overlap. I'm just thrilled to have found this series because I very much still have a hole-shaped like the Blood And Ash Series in my heart because I'm waiting for more books to be released.

I have to mention that I seriously felt like I had missed an introduction book for this series because SO MUCH of the worldbuilding just isn't explained. It's simply mentioned and you're supposed to take that as fact. Due to that, I'm still very lost on all the terminology and the out-there names didn't help my last two functioning neurons. I tried my best but I'm still lost. It probably will get better as I listen to the next books *fingers crossed*. I also had to nitpick that there's a lot more telling than showing. Which isn't bad but the story would benefit from the inverse of that in quite a few situations.

Legion was fantastic! I kinda guessed his twist but the reveal was still very anxiety-inducing though. He's a tortured morally grey hero and I can't wait for him to make me question why I'm still on his side. He's hot okay? That's all you need to know 😅

The heroine was great! I liked how she's the black sheep of the family and is the only one that has a heart. She doesn't take joy from the killings and tortures like her entire family does. She wants peace but she'll have to get bloody in order to have a chance at it.

The ending was wild! I didn't see that twist coming! I hate how they left things though. I can't wait to dive into the next book!
