I wanted to love this book and I think I would have if it had been released before From Blood and Ash. There were just too many similarities between this book and the Blood and Ash series. It felt like the author had just repurposed every element of from blood and ash and used it in this book and it felt a bit lazy. I get that there are supposed to be parallels based on what weâve seen so far in the blood and ash series but for me this was too much recycling of plot devices to constitute a new story. I did love the characters but it felt like a re read of the blood and ash series with a bit of a twist.
This book was slow to start for me. I don't know if it's because I already read FBAA and felt like I already knew what was going to happen or what. It picked up about 10 chapters in. I did still find there were parts I was skimming over later. But I am excited to see more of this story!
What a great story! Answers questions for the FBAA series, and just an all round great story on its own. Nyktos is amazing! Can’t wait for the next one.
