Lady of Darkness

Going to dnf for now.  Main character is annoying and I wanted more cold badass assassin and not ragey teenager assassin with giant questionmark.

I'd recommend this for anyone who enjoyed the Throne of Glass or Blood and Ash series.

Lady of Darkness is an intriguing start to what I imagine will be an epic fantasy series. The plot is compelling. Roehrich skillfully weaves in past events and hints for the future, giving you the satisfaction of learning what's happened before while leaving you curious for what's to come.

The main character is complex. She is confident, strong, and deadly but still has the capacity to be vulnerable and feel deeply. In addition to the challenges she faces she's also working through the masks she must wear and how they affect her relationships around her.

This book has plenty of romance without sacrificing plot and leaves you wanting to know what comes next. I had a hard time following some of the history and world building presented in the book but not so much it affected my enjoyment or understanding of the story.
