Initially I thought that this’d just be from Bleak’s perspective? BUT IT WASN’T? Reading this so soon after completing Godblind (ew no, ew), I had such a new-found appreciation for the tone of the writing and the exposition of every character we saw. It’s not often you see a protagonist in YA drinking so profusely, so the way that shaped her character was incredibly unique and interesting. She’s so sarcastic, vulnerable and flawed. Helen approached me, asking if I’d like to read Heart of Mist, and as soon as I read the synopsis I KNEW I WANTED THE WHOLE THING.

Heart of Mist is the gripping first book in The Oremere Chronicles, a fantasy series of epic proportions. The leader of an infamous society of warriors, the Valia Kindred, lays claim to her as well, and Bleak finds herself in the middle of a much bigger battle than she anticipated.

Still grieving the death of her guardian and dangerously self-medicating with alcohol, Bleak is snatched from her home by the Commander of the King’s Army, and summoned to the capital.īut the king isn’t the only one interested in Bleak’s powers. In a realm where toxic mist sweeps the lands and magic is forbidden, all Bleak wants is a cure for her power.
