Working on my review notes for this beautiful series, while waiting (not so) patiently for the 3rd book to come out. If you’re sick and tired of clichés and recycled fantasy storylines, this beauty might be the right pick for you too. To be honest, it was pure luck that I stumbled upon it and I have no idea why isn’t it more popular. 🤔 Synopsis: Everything has a spirit - the willow tree with leaves that kiss the pond, the stream that feeds the river, the wind that exhales fresh snow... But the spirits that reside within this land want to rid it of all humans. An idealistic young student and a banished warrior become allies in a battle to save their realm in this first book of a mesmerizing epic fantasy series, filled with political intrigue, violent magic, malevolent spirits, and thrilling adventure [...] “Don't trust the fire, for it will burn you. Don't trust the ice, for it will freeze you. Don't trust the water, for it will drown you. Don't trust the air, for it will choke you. Don't trust the earth, for it will bury you. Don't trust the trees, for they will rip you, rend you, tear you, kill you dead.” #thequeensofrenthia #thequeenofblood #thereluctantqueen #thequeenofsorrow #sarahbethdurst #recommended #books #yafantasy
