This was an excellent read. The plot was masterful and I particularly enjoyed the ending.

The style of writing is engaging and pulls the reader in. The use of world building was also exceptional and flowed well. As far as reads go, I devoured this book in a short period and would highly recommend.

My only criticism would be there were some formatting errors and minor grammatical mistakes.

The character arch for both Thea and Sebastian was a journey that I had not expected but certainly delivered. I was delighted to be introduced to other characters who very much had to confront their base selves in a journey that was visceral in some cases. Overall, a triumph of understanding the darker fissures of the human soul but with a redemption arch that was heartening to read.

I really enjoyed These Unruly Souls. The story pulled me into its world, and by the end, I was completely invested in what happens next. I sincerely hope there is a second book planned because I have questions that need answers!

The characters and story kept me interested throughout, and I especially enjoyed watching everything unfold as the book progressed. This wasn't necessarily a book that I flew through—it took me a little longer to read—but I still found myself wanting to return to the story and see where it was going.

My main criticism was the number of grammatical and spelling errors throughout the book. While I understand that I read an ARC and some errors are expected before final publication, there were enough that they occasionally distracted me from the story. A little additional editing and proofreading would make the reading experience much smoother.

Overall, this was a very enjoyable read with a story that left me wanting more—which is always a good sign. The ending especially made me hope this isn't the last we've seen of these characters and this world. I will absolutely be watching for a sequel!

Thank you to the author and publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
