My review: ?????
Asperfell by Jamie Thomas is a fantasy novel, set in another world, where people can have different types of magic. Some of these are more feared than others, like blood magic. All is fine until the Crown Prince kills the King with his magic, and he is banished through the gate (a magic portal) to Asperfell from where no one has returned.
Briony is our protagonist, and starts the story as a young girl, with her father as an advisor to the King. She witnesses the Crown Prince being sent through the gate, and is sent away to the country when the Crown Prince’s younger brother inherits the throne, and magic users start to be hunted.
I very much enjoyed this book. It explored the world, both the world and Asperfell. It showed us different types of magic, which I enjoyed seeing how they would affect the world around them.
The story moves at a good pace, and I wanted to find out what would happen next. This is the first book in a trilogy, so don’t expect a complete ending!

I was given this book for free in return for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Uproar books (the publishers) for this book.
