Two queens of fantasy launch epic new series anchored by fierce heroines: Review
The battle between good and evil — it’s a clash that’s set the stage for the most spectacular, sprawling of stories, from the days of Beowulf and Arthurian legend to modern phenomena like Harry Potter and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That age-old conflict finds new life in two of the biggest fantasy novels of the year, waged in both books between angels and demons, with an all-powerful core of love at their centers.
Half-human, half-Fae Bryce Quinlan presents as a party girl, keeping everyone at arm’s length after a demon brutally murders her closest friends. Desperate for vengeance, Bryce plunges into an investigation when the murders pile up, putting her in the company of Fallen angel Hunt Athalar, the city’s top assassin. Enslaved by the archangels he once attempted to overthrow, Hunt hides a deep tenderness within his Shadow of Death exterior.
The author’s world-building skills have long been considered among the finest of her peers. And they’re newly thrilling in, intricately rendering Crescent City as a place that feels both familiar and wildly imagined. But it’s Maas’ sweeping feel for love stories, and particularly her essential take on female fellowship, that cast the real spell.
