Oh my goodness. This was my first Naomi Loud book and Why did it take me so long?!
A Dance Macabre is a dark, slightly magical, twisted world where the enemies eventually turn lovers but not without a whole lot of turmoil first. The 6 ruling families of Pravitia have a lottery every 19 years to determine who the next ruler will be. This years Lottery turns out differently when Mercy decides she can skirt the gods that rule them. In a never been done before move, there are now two co-rulers of Pravitia, the two who take the whole families feuding to an extreme. Will these two learn to eventually rule together without ending the other…or will the gods punish them for not…bending to their will?
I enjoyed this book so much! Although it had dark themes it was a really fun read! I absolutely loved the main characters even though they were arguably terrible people.
I received this book as an ARC and am leaving this review of my own volition.
