👏 🤩

Dark, atmospheric, and richly unsettling. This gothic fantasy weaves folklore, danger, and quiet menace into a story that feels both brutal and beautiful. Perfect for readers who enjoy moody worlds and morally complex characters. 🩸🖤📚

I love this author so much

I cant stress enough how much I love this artist. her ability to create a world is awe inspiring

Great story

I love the story and loved the appearances of my favorite characters from previous books even more.. but the narration was dreadful. I don’t think it’s ever taken me this long to get through a book this short. Weird pauses and off-putting intonation made it almost painful to listen to.

A satisfying ending to a trilogy that's 'not' a trilogy

Strong storytelling from a skilled writer that brings back favorites, offers a ha moments for the not so strong entry, and maintains all of the witchy, Gothic Wonder that is Slatter's gift.

Not my favorite…

I was really hoping this book would be more like the first two, Murmuring Bones and Path of Thorns but was unfortunately more like the Briar book of the Dead and every other YA adventure book out there. The first were so refreshing and different than most books but the last two fell flat and remind me of every other book out there. The reader is ok but the first two were much better and used unique voices for the characters. This one was just a typical young woman’s voice. Nothing special like the others.
