The Elf Witch (Plot of the Six Saints, #1)

A highly complex dark fantasy novel, The Elf Witch kicks off the Plot of the Six Saints series. The FMC, Imani, is a badass who is thrust into a series of deadly trials.

The lore and magic system was as beautiful as it was confusing. I found myself rereading parts of the story to ensure I understood what was happening. The action scenes were riveting; when Imani had to make a certain decision, I bit my fingernails in an anxious mood. I liked the idea of morally black characters but the characters lacked a certain depth and there was no growth in the FMC.

I liked some aspects of the story but there was a lot of information that was sort of thrown in there. If the plot was thoroughly explained/explored and the dialogue felt more natural, The Elf Witch would have been an excellent read
