Book 8 Of The Year
I love this book!! The writing is beautiful, the descriptions phenomenal, this is like nothing I have read before. There are so many twists and turns, some where you have to sit a minute with the book closed at certain points to catch a breath. Straight off the bat this book I would recommend it being a 18+ due to the mature themes that are there throughout the novel but this is my opinion. If you love A Court of Silver Flames by the fabulous Sarah, J Maas this is the novel for you!!
In this book we follow Amala and Hawk on their own journeys of discovery and mystery. After a mysterious death their lives go into uproar as they try to find out who the killer is. Set in a modern world with a twist similar to that found in Harry Potter and Mortal Instruments. This novel explores sexuality, feminine power and the joy of loving ones soul and body which for some of us we need to appreciate more. Our bodies do amazing things, lets worship them a little more.
This for me is the first novel with a transgender character, characters who are involved with more than one lover (Polymerous) and free bleeding which is something I hadn't heard of before until I read this book (see kids, you do learn something new everyday!). I think with Chiara including all of these different elements it makes it more diverse and involves people from all walks of life, as well as honouring past traditions and practices. One thing I adore in this book and others I have read is the different perspectives that differs from chapter to chapter. This for me gives you the chance to gain more knowledge and understanding for a character, in total this book has three perspectives and I love it. You get to see certain characters from their points of view and hear their inner most thoughts without it changing how they are portrayed on the outside to others.
I feel extremely luck to have been given the opportunity to receive a PR Box from Chiara with themed goodies inside linked to the book (Thank you again!!), you can find a separate blog post about the box here on my blog.
We all know by now that I love a slow-burn or a enemies to lovers trope and this is one like no other, but I won't be spoiling it. You'll have to buy the book and see for yourself! And cliff-hangers?! Chiara does us dirty with the hanger that she leaves, me and the ending of this book has a love hate relationship so fingers crossed for a sequel!
I would highly recommend this book, it is fun, sarcastic and utterly divine. One last note you will fall in love 100% for Howlite, you just can't help it it just happens (If you know, you know!)
