Firstly I would like to thank Netgalley for providing a free, pre-release copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow! I went into this with no idea what to expect. I quickly found myself completely engrossed in the world that Cameron created here. His writing style was flawless to me. Absolutely beautifully crafted prose, completely fleshed out characters (and there's a lot of them to flesh out), and world building that had me living in it.

A word of warning if you have not read any other reviews.. This book probably should have a trigger warning for almost everything!

You will have a good idea within the first 3 chapters. This is dark and descriptively gruesome.
There's Murder (including children), rape, sexual violence, chauvinism, general violence, and extreme language.
This does settle as we get more into the story, but it never really goes away.
Think Game of Thrones mixed with Lord of the Rings.

That said, all the above serves a vital purpose to the story, and this has to be one of the tightest stories I've read in a long time. It feels like the Author knew where this was going before he wrote it. Everything has it's place, every character has their place, and every Trinket has it's place.

I loved this book so much that I threw away my free review copy at 70% and bought the final book.

Look forward to seeing more novels from this very talented Author.
