   This is R.D. Pires’ best work yet! As a fairly new fan of fantasy, I found Design of Darkness to be a perfect balance of intricate world building and effortless storytelling. I’ve found that I can sometimes get lost in the complexities of other fantasy worlds, but Pires made his world of peace vs. war, light vs. dark, and hope vs. destruction so easy to navigate and immerse myself in.

   The story is told through multiple perspectives, which I love. It really allows the reader to experience the wide range of emotions that the characters are faced with when making their decisions and how it progresses the series of events.

   I am always impressed by Pires ability to tell a compelling story that makes you want to keep reading to find out what happens next, while at the same time making you feel deeply connected to the characters. Design of Darkness is no different. I always wanted to know the next step in the plot, but also found myself wanting to pause and give space for the heartache I felt for certain characters.

   If I could give this book 10 stars, I would! I can’t wait for the next book of the series!
