I totally got lost in this excellent fantasy book, which I loved. It gripped me from the very start of the book This was a big story comprising a fantasy world made up of the 4 books previously published. An interesting world has been created, and made to seem believable. I really enjoyed the overall story and bought totally into the main characters and all the trials and tribulations they went through.

It was great to see such a strong female lead and I loved the way she interacted with Matthew. The good versus evil dimension and the link to key characters in the past kept you as the reader on your toes, Just loved the whole story thread and the way the story unwrapped through the differing four parts of the book.

Definitely one to be recommended if you enjoy these type of stories with good fighting evil. A five star read for me and a book which will stay with me.

I would like to say thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for providing a copy of this book to me for an open and honest review. ( )
