Finished Daggermouth

4⭐️ for me and this is due to the last 25% of the book (Callum?!?!?) Can confidently say I did not see any of the turns revealed. Tragically amazing. That being said it sucked it took almost the entire book for things to get really interesting. The ending made me curious about book 2 (mission accomplished if that was the goal) Plot and world is unique and I hope the author expands more on how the systems came to be. 🥲

5/25 Edited to

... Read moreReading Daggermouth felt like navigating a richly crafted world with layers that only fully reveal themselves toward the end. While the beginning might seem slow, it builds a strong foundation that enhances the impact of the dramatic twists at the conclusion. The final quarter, particularly the surprises involving Callum, left me genuinely shocked and eager to dive into the sequel. The unique systems and world-building intrigued me deeply—I found myself wishing the author would delve even more into how these systems were established. This curiosity highlights how immersive and original the setting is compared to typical fantasy narratives. I appreciated how the story balances tragic elements with moments that feel almost heartbreakingly real, adding emotional depth. One standout aspect is the pacing: although the story takes time to pick up, the payoff feels rewarding. This approach might not suit everyone, but for me, it built anticipation and made the plot developments more satisfying. If you enjoy unpredictable storylines and worlds that inspire your imagination, Daggermouth is a compelling read. Given that H.M. Wolfe is a USA Today bestselling author, readers can expect skillful storytelling with well-constructed characters and twists. If you decide to start this book, be prepared for a steady buildup and a captivating ending that will leave you craving book two. The hashtags #daggermouth, #justread, and #BookReview perfectly capture this experience—the book deserves a spot on any fantasy lover's reading list.

Hmmm well this was a slow burn but the spice was spicy 🌶️🌶️ The prologue had me hooked. 🥴💦 The plot is good and character development is good as well. It pissed me off that it ended in a cliffhanger because it felt like the story was complete in the end but I look forward to seeing what S.K. Valent

Have any of you read this book? So many twists and turns that grab your attention! I found myself trying to figure out this Mr. Smith was. I don’t want to give too much away so I’ll stop while I’m ahead. If you’re looking for a good mystery… I would highly suggest!
