C.L. Clark is a fantastic author. Her writing is easy to read while remaining extremely entertaining and heart wrenching. The best written combat I've read, it was clear who was doing what at all times. I audibly gasped many times while reading.
This book brings a depth to Ambessa and her motivations as well as her family that I really wanted after watching Arcane.
I read the book and listened to the audio version as well, both are wonderful ways to enjoy this story. I will surely be reading it again in the future.
For those wondering if you need to understand league lore, I do not have much knowledge outside of arcane and it was a bit confusing in the first chapter for me but things cleared up. It's not a steep entry to reading.
