King of the dead.
My kindle library is overflowing with books. I like to read a lot of fantasy, and a lot of dark fantasy. I recently read the book Land of the Beautiful Dead by R. Lee Smith and absolutely adored it. This story takes place in a post apocalyptic society, where the world has been taken over by this God like entity who has the power to raise the dead. The main character, Lan, sneaks her way in to the city of the dead, to speak with their ruler. She ends up striking a bargain with him, and begins a journey of growth and new life. Every character in this book has such depth, and such heartache. I feel like the character development from each character alone is a reason to read this book, and the world they live in is just so real I feel as though I am living there right beside Lan. I highly recommend this book. It is a bit on the longer side, at around 700 pages, but I don't think I've ever finished a book so quickly I was so eager to know what happened next.
