DIG MY GRAVE (Hymns from the lighthouse book 1 )-Book Review



BOOK BLURB:

After The Great Divide left them isolated by monstrous water mountains.
After The Maker's Massacre left them in darkness-leaving them in a world divided between Blue and Black.
Buried deep down in their home-holes, the families of The Five have been waiting for a long time for the catalyst that will spark The Maker's Third Atrocity.
Time can yield countless possibilities.
Time finds a young Gracie No-Name sold to the Broken King Magnus Windbound. Her simple crime was being born to an unloving mother.
A generation earlier, time finds Summer. A girl with curly blue hair and gray-blue eyes born to a world of black hair and black eyes, named after the season of her abandonment.
Another generation later, Skye Wallace predictably found himself in his office lost in time-investigating God's Cruelties. But Skye often finds himself reading about The Daughters of Light. Astonishing women, able to yield nature to their will, with just the snap of a finger.
Then stands the Gravedigger. A specter shrouded in black, burying this world one soul at a time, with every dig of its diamond shovel.

     I won this Audiobook as part of a giveaway the author was running on his instagram page.
This Audiobook is an experience and the narrators bring it to life with their amazing voices.

✨️MY REVIEW:

πŸŒ‘This book is a series of fragmented stories set in a dystopian world. An epic dark fantasy from the ingenious mind of the author that had me emotionally consumed from beginning to end.


I rate this book 5/5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

πŸ”΅This story  is a sequence of calamities that befall each of the characters due to the circumstances that surround them.There are so many layers to this story and it jumps around a lot between the different characters and their experiences, but every story and character has a purpose, and is pivotal to the essence of the story as a whole. A world were the people could turn to the gods in the past and now the God of that world is absent and having a crisis. There are so many layers to this story. I have to warn that if you listen to the Audiobook and get distracted you will get lost. I found myself having to go back many times when I was interrupted.
There were a lot of shocking moments that I was not expecting.(Trigger warning) There were many revelations in the end and things start to make sence.  
You will have to read for yourself if you want to know what this book/Audiobook is all about.
The narrators of the Audiobook where amazing and really had me enthralled.

πŸ–€I highly recommend this book. It is not for the faint of heart or the Squeamish. It is not the type of Fantasy i am used to but is kick ass. 

I will be patiently waiting for book 2. By the way,the actual book has a map. Who dosent love maps? I certainly do, and I know is going to be a good book If it has a map.πŸ—ΊπŸ—
