Dark of the West: Book Review

Dark of the West by Joanna Hathaway is a hard nut to crack. Steeped in World War II era inspiration and saturated with political intrigue, Dark of the West is certain to appeal to fans of Historical Fiction. But what about those of us who picked the book up for the forbidden romance, betrayals, and plane battles? That’s where it gets tricky.

In Amélie Wen Zhao’s debut novel, Blood Heir, we are introduced to a cold world filled with magic, oppression, revenge, and betrayal. Though not without its faults, Blood Heir is a solid debut and a strong start to a thought-provoking series.
Rating: 3.5 stars

Stellar rep and an amazing base concept, yet this one fell painfully flat for me due to cliched characters that I never grew to care about and an overabundance of ideas that made the story feel bloated.

Rating: 2 Stars

Though filled with a variety of important representations and intriguing ideas, the execution was hampered by a slow and clunky writing style.
Rating: 3 stars
