The blurb sounded interesting and definitely piqued my interest but I wasn't expecting to find one of my favourite reads of 2021!
I personally believe the title is what draws people in and can make or break a book. The title of this book really hits for me "The Undiscovered Descendants" I mean....seriously!!! So exciting from the get go. Then you are promised intrigue, mythology, magical objects and special abilities. Let me tell you, you get all that and more.
I rated the book 5 stars after reading it but I like to let the story sit in my thoughts for a bit and then I'll come back and write up a review. I have to say this story will pop up in my head daily and I've read approximately another 100 books since reading TUD. That to me is a sign of a favourite book.
I think the thing that stands out to me the most is the relationships between the characters. I love a strong family bond and great friendships. We got both. The characters are really likeable. Even Tristan who I'm not sure I'm meant to like lol.
The ending really left me excited for the next installment and I can't wait to pick it up when it's released.
I'm ultimately just so grateful to Netgalley for helping me discover one of my new favourite authors who I'm not sure I would have come across otherwise.
