First Thoughts
I’m so grateful to Avon Books for approving me for this ARC! The Kingdom of Lies series by Stacia Stark was a big part of me getting back into reading, so this has been a highly anticipated book for me. I was practically squealing when I got the email saying I was approved for the ARC.
We Who Will Die is one of those books that I could tell was obviously only the beginning. There is so much story to tell. On the other hand, I was completely blown away at how fantastic the completion of the first book was. It left me sitting there in shock that it was over, but not in an angry or unfulfilled way. I don’t love having to wait on book two, but at the same time, with a series like this, it’s kind of fun! I can spend plenty of time contemplating how the rest of the series will go while building up the anticipation for the next book.
Huge thank you to NetGalley and Avon for this ARC. HIGHLY recommend!
