Do you like fantasy, slow burn romance, and friendships that make your heart feel things? Then boy do I have a book for you.
Successor is one of those rare fantasies that manages to capture the feeling of wonder we all experienced at discovering Narnia, while still pulling off an older vibe, with high stakes and even higher romantic tension.
I had been craving a good fantasy adventure lately, and as always, I found it hard to find one that wasn’t grim and dark. Simply put, I wanted all the best of the fantasy genre conventions but without the bummer ones. And this book was exactly what I needed. It had incredibly compelling characters, who still at the end of the novel felt as though they had more left to their arcs. Hopefully this means we’ll see a sequel eventually, but even if it doesn’t, it left me with a feeling like the characters I’d grown to love still had adventures ahead of them, and I loved that.
All in all this is a stunning debut novel, and I hope you’ll check it out!
Happy reading!
