Wicked Saints

When I first picked up this book I had a hard time getting invested in the story. You are immediately thrown into action with vague references to clerics and princes and power- which made it hard to sympathize with the protagonist at first. The book does progress nicely and the characters develop into more complex individuals, allowing me to become eventually invested in their stories. I will say, I thought that this was going to follow the typical YA novel “troubled boy and innocent girl are paired together to save the world” plot- and while it does to some degree, there were definitely plot twists that left me reeling.
