A Kingdom of Shadows by Emily Bain Murphy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“We’re just travelers,” Ehrit repeated, “trying to make our way home.”

This middle-grade fantasy quest story is perfect for lovers of Narnia, The Hobbit, and the Wingfeather Saga. This cozy adventure is filled with clever Christian symbolism, in-depth world-building, and well-written characters. I would have loved this book as a kid (and I love it now as an eighteen-year-old laughs). I highly recommend this book and am waiting not-so-patiently for the next one!

Content warnings: some violence and wounds, but minor, dead parents (but they don’t “show” them dying), and some “magic” but no spells (very much Narnia and Wingfeather Saga magic).

Note: I received this book as an eARC from the author on NetGalley.
