Cian is sent on a journey to find out who or what is causing all the deaths in his village.
I really enjoyed this! It's a step out my comfort zone, and a very good one at that.
I'd class it as high fantasy. Very Tolkien-esque, with an epic journey, lives at stake, elves, dwarves, centsaurs, sea serpents on the rampage and a madman, messing with dark blood magic.
Throw in a slow burn sweet romance, between Cian and his guide, Thanyon, and you've got a near perfect book!
Only Cian gets a say, though, and at points, he had a lot to say.
But a fabulous read.

Possible because I felt it was starting to get to be a bit of a chore to keep up with all the Marvel content on Disney+, plus the fact that I found the character - first introduced in Black Panther 2 - to be a bit on the bland side.
Once I did get round to it, I watched it all in the space of a few days as it was better than I was expecting, mixing the magic side of the MCU with the technological side.
And, yes, while I *know* that reveal at the end is supposed to be a big deal, I've still no real context for it and just what it is considered to be such (other than what I have heard second-hand)
