Before I start this review, I need to tell you that I've been in a reading slump for the last several weeks. No fantasy book has been able to catch my attention, let alone keep it. So you can imagine my excitement when I started Wicked Saints and it was fast-paced from the get-go. Before the first chapter was over, the plot (and action) had started, without any preamble. My attention was caught, and with the well-paced plot and mystery, it held throughout the book. The only problem is that now I have to find a book as good as this one.

 The characters were interesting. I liked Nadya from the start. She could be a bit slow sometimes, but she was interesting to read about and I liked seeing her character growth. And while I wasn't too keen on Serefin at first, he grew on me. Like Nadya, he went through a lot of character development. But what made the characters interesting was that they were all layered. No one was perfect, but no one was entirely bad, either (with one exception). But they all had flaws, they had their good and bad parts, which made them interesting to read about. 

The plot was well-paced. It was fast-paced throughout, a lot of things going on, and every page counted. It was exactly what I needed at the time; something to catch my attention right away, and fast-paced enough to keep me interested the whole time. It was great.

 The world-building, the magic, was amazing. It was unlike anything I've seen before, and it was really interesting. It was intricately built, amd honestly I couldn't get enough. I can't wait to read more and learn more about this world and its' magic system.

 Wicked Saints was an amazing new fantasy. Duncan delivers exciting fantasy mixed with layered characters that all make for something you do not want to miss. And with the fast-paced plot, you won’t want to put it down.
