But when his adventure brings him in contact with a most unusual comrade, a woman with immense power and an unfathomable gift, he sets on a path which will alter the nature of sorcery in all of Britain - and the world at large…
- From Goodreads.
I thought it was clever how the story had the history of our world but took it and added magical elements, it was very creative and made for a very fascinating world with interesting politics that added to the twists and turns of the plot. The plot was very exciting as the different mysteries unravelled and I thought the climactic scene that everything culminated to was very well done and fun to read.
I really loved the two main characters, Zacharias and Prunella, they both had such intriguing stories to follow and and really great personalities and their romance was definitely my favourite thing about the book. Every moment they had together was delightful to read and I loved how they became protective and supportive of each other. The final scene of the book with them brought me so much joy.
The writing style was perfect for the book and very well done, it really helped me feel immersed in the setting of the book.
I would recommend this if you also enjoyed books like Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater and Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson.
