Wicked Saints

Initial Thoughts: This book took me a bit to get into, but once I did I found it highly enjoyable and I really loved how the three characters stories intersected. Wicked Saints has Russian inspirations and as such, it was hard to get adjusted to the names at first. I was listening to the audiobook, which I think helped but it was still hard to remember who was who. The “magic” in this book was fascinating between the blood and the spellbooks and I really hope we can explore this further in future books. One thing this book had that really irked me was the epigraphs at the beginning of each chapter. I do not think they were at all necessary to the story and at times made the story more confusing (part of this could be because I was listening to the audiobook, but I think the audiobook is what helped with the names). I definitely will be continuing this trilogy but I am apprehensive since I think there is a huge risk of this trilogy falling short and turning very disappointing.
