If anyone is looking for the perfect dark, fall, rain-taping-the-window-while-you-read-by-candlelight story… this duology is for you. This writing of this book is so atmospheric, you feel yourself being swallowed up by the mists. 

There is romance, but I would say it’s second to the super cool plot, magic system, and world building. I found myself more invested in the outcome of the main plot then in the development of the various relationships, which I would say was a plus for this book. There were additional POVs added to this book, and I really liked them. 

I appreciate the succinct story of the duology, but I almost wish there was more!
