❤️ Book Review ❤️
STOP what you are doing and add this to your TBR right now!! 🤣😍 This book was seriously fantastic and I want everyone to read it. I’ve already secured myself a lovely hardcover 🥰 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sword Catcher is the first book in a new series by Cassandra Claire called The Chronicles of Castellane, and is completely unrelated to any of her other series. From the first pages of reading this book, I was so intrigued. I immediately loved the world building and the imagery I was able to capture in my mind right away, which was a very exciting sign 😌
This book had one of the longest prologues I think I’ve ever read, around 60 pages I believe (don’t quote me if that’s incorrect), but so totally worth it! It really built and captured where the story was headed, and then Chapter 1 took off several years later. Within that time and beyond, you get so much character and story development. There’s definitely loads of plot in this book, which I love 🥰👌🏼
One of my booksta buddies Lindsay , said how this book gave ASOIAF (Game of Thrones) vibes, and I totally get that. You can feel the level of detail Cassandra has gone to to plan out this story, and create histories for the characters and groups of people within it. Just fantastic.
Sword Catcher is criminally underrated on GoodReads, I cannot wait for the next book in this series. I’m calling it now, this is going to be a great one as it builds over the coming years, and as I said, if it’s not on your TBR and you love fantasy.. read this 🤩
