The Dark Feather door Anna Stephens
The Songs of the Drowned
A pretty standard fantasy 'horror' book. It was clear as it enters the last couple of chapters that it was heading to be part of a series of books, and was not going to close any storylines within the book itself. If not for the appearance of a beloved character in the final chapter, I doubt I would look to read more of this series, as it is, I might.
This even darker and bloodier second installment of the series is filled with devastation, loss, defeat, but also a shimmer of hope.
I would like to thank Harper Collins UK and Netgalley for the chance to review and give my honest opinion.
This book is not the faint hearted at all. This is a grimdark novel that is brutal and bloody. But I did not mind this as I enjoy my fantasy with a little kick to it. Also, the characters in this book are at times not likeable and definitely you are unsure who is good and who is bad. There are not simple troupes in here. Please be advised there are many trigger warnings in the book due to the graphic content. As I said before this is not a book for the faint hearted.
The female characters in this book are kickass and at times I found them witty and sassy. I loved the friendships portrayed in the universe.
If you want an exciting read then this is for you. I can't wait to get a physical copy to put on my bookshelves and in the near future, delve back into this amazing world. Bring on the battle for the dark and the light and most definitely bring on book two. Well done Ms Stephens on an excellent debut novel. Can't wait to read more by this amazing new voice.… (meer)
