Leyssandra hat One Dark Window von Rachel Gillig besprochen (The Shepherd King, #1)
In a world of magic cards...
3 Sterne
In a world of magic cards, red, and black, Deadly mist, a maiden, and a monster attack!
Well, kind of. When it comes to the magic system, it seems like the rules for the cards, mist, and magic bend for whatever makes the story work best. Also, the motivations for the characters are rather questionable. Elspeth has lived with her magic for 11 years, but suddenly once the story begins, she only has a few weeks before she degenerates? And they seem so certain of finding a card that has not only eluded kings with way more resources behind finding it for hundreds of years, but has literally never been seen since its supposed creation, so that seems like it should be something they should be worrying about way more than they actually seem to give thought to.
Still, Rachel's writing is enchanting and its a fun read …

Still, Rachel's writing is enchanting and its a fun read for the dark fairytale vibes, the mysterious atmosphere, and the romance.
