2025 Reads - Daughter of The Dead by K. Jamila

I just love when I can feel the female rage through the pages. This was a great read. From the first page this had me on the edge, the mystery and gore that is laid out makes it almost impossible not to continue and it just kept getting better. The world building and magic systems are quite unique.
