My review:???

Kingdom of Souls by Rena Barron is about Arrah, both of whose parents have magic, and are descended from powerful witchdoctors, and yet Arrah has no magic.  She feels like a constant disappointment to her mother, but is treasured by her father.

When children start to disappear, Arrah becomes worried about her young friend, who is then taken.  Arrah decides to turn to a darker side of magic to find answers.

This is a fantasy novel, set in a world of magic and legends.  It’s got twists and turns, and moments that make sense.  

I found this book to be a little too much, and at 496 pages, I do feel like it could have been two books, which might have made the story not feel so rushed in places.

Kingdom of Souls was published on 3rd September 2019 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, and so my thanks to NetGalley and to HarperCollins UK.
