One Dark Window

“There once was a girl, clever and good, who tarried in shadow in the depths of the wood. There also was a King—a shepherd by his crook, who reigned over magic and wrote the old book. The two were together, so the two were the same: “The girl, the King... and the monster they became.”

I'm a woman with simple tastes, and what I love reading the most is: Beautifully written high fantasy, with romance, that enhances but not overshadows the plot. Bonus points if the characters are older, and we get to read a bit of spice. This doesn't sound too difficult, but It's really hard to find.

This duology though... it hits almost all my check list points, and it was absolutely amazing (particularly the second book).

Beautifully written by Rachel Gillig, we are immersed in a dark fairytale, comparable to those beautifully and twisted stories we grew up listening and reading.

Was it worth the hype? Yes it was! I loved every bit of it.
Thank you to everyone who recommended this to me!
