It’s seriously cool and the entire world of this series would make an excellent DnD setting imho. However, tho I expected the Islands to be my fave setting, my actual fave setting in the entire series was definitely Adappyr. I don’t wanna go into detail because of MAJOR SPOILERS but this part of the book is what really endeared me to Thiyo as a character. The book opens up to settle our worries from the cliffhanger at the end of Nightvine and also introduces yet another location: We see the Islands referenced so long ago in Thornfruit at last! (And if you’re wondering if this means even more side characters added to the ever-growing cast, you’re fiery fucking right lol.) And last but not least, we have arrived at Shadebloom! Shadebloom is probably my fave of the series for a number of spoilery and non-spoilery reasons, not to mention that it’s also endlessly quotable like the other two books preceding it (seriously, Felicia Davin really knows how to write fun prose). ![]() Daemons Are Forever by Simon R.

How nice it felt to spend down time with someone like West-smart, kind, happy. I thought about how easy it was to be in his company sometimes.
