SAL. Omg, i loved Sal. I really enjoyed this one. The world building and the history was incredibly thought out and impressive. Highly rec this to fans of Sarah J Maas.
Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read this. Lengthier review to come.

This was the first book I’ve ever read with a gender fluid character and I thought Linsey Miller did a good job of capturing Sal’s identity as they were so much more than just what gender they identified with. I felt the author handled this aspect of Sal’s character with some sensitivity.

The story will get under your skin with its action packed plot line that engages the senses making you want more. Miller created a realistic world rich and vibrant in detail that included countries, cultures, politics, and a whole background of historical plot lines. It also has a layer of darkness that will grip you making you unable to put it down as you’re pulled deeper into the story. Thankfully there are moments of humor sprinkled about so you can get an emotional break.

The author’s characters that surround Sal become the kind that you can really dig into and would want as friends.

Miller not only has the ability to entertain but for all those who want to write themselves someday take not of her style because you can learn a thing or two.

Thank you, Netgalley for an ARC of this book. My views are entirely my own.

Action-packed, daring, engaging and romantic, Mask of Shadows was everything I wanted and more! I will definitely be pre-ordering my own copy of this one off of Amazon, and I already can't wait for the sequel!

Absolutely loved it. Was just what I needed for a read right now. Will have a more in-depth review when I can put together more of a thought than just pure excitement.

I was really interested in this one by the book description... The book wasn't even long, but it sure felt like it! Some parts were good and others were a big pile of cliches.
