Make no mistake friends, this isn’t a happy story. Now they must work together, but with enemies at all sides, they can’t trust anyone, least of all each other. When Tavia mistakenly gives a vial of dark magic to a loved one, she sparks a conflict larger than our four players. Finally, there’s Saxony, a resistance fighter who’s hiding from those who ruined her family, and will do everything she can to get revenge. Karam is a warrior who serves as a bodyguard during the day, and by night she spends her time in the fighting rings, making a deadly name for herself. There’s also Wesley, who dreams of bringing the kingdom to its knees, leaving behind the young boy who grew up hungry and alone on the streets of Creije. Our story begins on the streets of Creije with Tavia, a young woman who peddles dark magic wares, with a dream of escaping and leaving that life behind. While the story is unequivocally a fantasy novel, I do want to say that if you’re triggered by violent/abusive situations, you might tread with caution.
The plot advances well, and the characters are really well explored, so I’m excited to see what happens in the next book…because that ending of Into The Crooked Place is pretty devastating.
It’s a gangster heist story dealing with a lot of heavy themes, but I think everyone will find something to love in this story. If you’re looking for a story of angsty teens with the world’s biggest chips on their shoulders, look no further! I personally enjoyed the dark, gritty, and bleak aspect of this book…but maybe that’s just my fall reading taste.
