The world Margret, Einar, and Magnus inhabit is richly detailed, both in landscape and also hardships. You stay with Margret as she follows her heart in directions not always immediately clear. The imagery the author gives you as they go about their day-to-day business is clear and concise, allowing you to live in the moment with them.
The pacing was perfect, giving you time to absorb all going on without any slow patches. This was a gripping and absorbing read that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.

Shadow Lands (The Warrior Chronicles 3)
By K.F. Breene
⭐️⭐️⭐️
In order to finally claim her title of Chosen and lead the Shadow People out of the Land of Mist, Shanti must make it through a century's old system to test her battle awareness, her fighting skill, and her ability to stay alive. She's about to enter The Trials, and she must do it alone.
Separated from Shanti on a dangerous island, Cayan must learn to use his mental skill while keeping his men safe from the people set out to kill them. But as more Inkna and Graygual flood the island, Cayan hears of a sinister force deep in the woods, rigging The Trials and killing any who venture too close.
It is now a race against time. The battle to become the Chosen has begun, and the victor is anything but decided.
Out of the 3 so far this one is the better of them. It had more story and the characters less annoying. I actually found myself liking it.
