Light magic is forbidden. Dark magic spells death. Haven has both. After the Prince of Penryth saved her from captivity, seventeen-year-old Haven Ashwood spends her days protecting the kind prince and her nights secretly fighting the monsters outside the castle walls. When one of those monsters kidnaps Prince Bell, Haven must ally with Archeron Halfbane and his band of immortals to rescue her friend. Her quest takes her deep into the domain of a warped and vicious queen where the rules are simple: break her curse or die. Lost in a land of twisted magic and fabled creatures, Haven finds herself unprepared, not just for the feelings she develops for Archeron, but for the warring powers raging inside her. Her rare and forbidden type of magic may be their only hope . . . but mixing light and dark comes with a steep price. Haven’s soul. Faced with impossible love, heartbreaking betrayals, and a queen intent on destroying the realm, only one thing remains certain. Haven must shatter the curse or it will devour everything she loves.
The Shadow Fall series is one of my favorite series that I've read. So when I saw this I just knew that I was going to have to read it.The cover alone drew me in and when I read the blurb, I knew I was going to love it. Well let me just say, I was not disappointed at all.
The worldbuilding and the easy flow just sucks you right in. I love that you get a little bit of the history of the place along the way, it really makes things more realistic. There is a wide array of diverse characters in this book. The personalities really keep things moving as well.
Haven is so snarky, a bit reckless and loyal. Everything a strong female lead needs. In my opinion at least. Archeron is one of those characters that just kind of grows on you. You know the kind that are arrogant and can do no wrong. Love those! -insert eyeroll- The other Solis are interesting and again diverse, which is why I hope that we learn more with the series. Now...Stolas! Oh Stolas has caught my attention and I must know more. From the beginning I knew we had to get more of Stolas, there was just something about this character that leaves you wanting more. Prince Bell and Creature are something I hope we get more of as well. For some reason I got Beauty and the Beast vibes from their moments. Not that it's a bad thing, that's just what I got from it.
