The Shiver Tree by Holly Searcy is an epic high fantasy adventure of Kiana and her band of friends out to save their world from the Deep Ones (hideous evil creatures). Kiana and Tash have a slow burn that is sure to only grow and deepen throughout the series. Might I add that snow is the most adorable sidekick ever! If you’re looking for an epic quest with a diverse range and magical creatures this is right up your alley! Thanks to #NetGalley #hollysearcy #theshivertree for allowing me the pleasure of listening to this ARC for an honest review.

I am going to start by praising the narration. It is amazing! I mean I can't believe how great she did! She did the different voices, emotions, and settings perfectly.
I loved the story too. It reminded me of the old timey RPGs I used to enjoy. I just felt happy when I was listening to it.

Thank you so much for this!

The Shiver Tree was interesting. This is a unique fantasy story set in an engaging world, with a wide range of species and an intriguing magic system. It really captures that classic quest vibe, focusing more on adventure and friendship than heavy romance or political themes. I enjoyed following the main character, Kiana, as she faced danger and fought to protect her home. Though there were moments where the world-building felt a bit awkward, and some of the wording used pulled me out of the fantasy immersion. I did however really enjoy the magic system of the druids’ tattoos, I don't think I've really seen anything similar in other fantasy books.
