Thank you Hachette Audio for the gifted audiobook copy of Voidwalker.

I devoured this dark fantasy meets monster romance. Fionamara, a female smuggler makes a bargain with an antlered immortal to save her home (and herself) in exchange for helping him take back his domain. In the midst of the rebellion, temptation and something more grows between the two. 

I really liked the setting of this story! The atmosphere felt different from most romantasy settings. The world building is accessible and not overly complicated, and I thought the portal magic was pretty cool. I liked that the different planes were coded to seasonal weather patterns. If you’re a seasonal reader like me, I recommend saving this for the cooler temps since the focus is mostly on the winter plane.

The story is compelling with high stakes and lots of tension. I especially liked the character growth of the FMC as she reckons with her past. At its core, this is a story about forgiveness. 

There was strong chemistry between Fi and Antal. I really liked how their dynamic seemed to flip the script. Antal and Fi are both fiercely defiant; and together, they seem to soften each other. Each giving the other permission to let down their walls. 

Overall, this was a solid start to a series that I definitely hope to continue. I recommend this to readers who enjoy fantasy romance with more of a contemporary feel in terms of dialogue, world building that’s easy to understand, and characters that need to work on themselves while dealing with perilous stakes.

🎧 I loved the audio! This was my first time listening to Amelia Hugh. She delivers both energy and emotion. I also loved the distinct voices and accents that she used for the vast cast of characters. 

My rating: 4.5⭐️
