Wight
Lord Saith Coleman is a necromancer–a mage with the power to commune with spirits and resurrect the dead. So when he is summoned to a small village deep in the woods and finds the preserved body of a beautiful young woman, it is clear what her adopted Dwarven family expects from him.
When Eira Velsign returns to life, she has spiritual powers of her own, but has lost all memories of life before her death. Driven by a determination to understand and control her abilities, Eira embraces her new existence, becoming an apprentice to the necromancer himself. She also takes on the role of “spiritual bodyguard” for Ashe Coleman, the young earl of Colvert and Saith’s nephew, who is one of the contenders to win the hand of the princess.
However, Eira soon discovers that restless spirits are not the sole adversaries she must confront. Ensnared in a treacherous inheritance plot woven by a cunning huntsman, she finds herself entangled in the investigation of a mysterious folio—the origins of which could have serious repercussions not only for the Coleman family, but for the kingdom of Myrsina as a whole.

First of all, I've never been a huge reader and I'm very picky on what I read.
Wight had me hooked from the very first pages with it's descriptive and natural flow of writing. The characters have personality and their bigger or little quirks that make them themselves. The interactions between characters are something I value a lot in any media, and in Wight I was not disappointed. The natural way characters interact with eachother and the world around them within their own personalities captivated me from the start.
The descriptive writing gives a great foundation for imagination to run wild and build that movie inside the reader's mind and have it play with ease. Character writing got me rooting for, despise (we know who, he was so well written!) and deeply care for them. I have to admit I did shed a few tears a couple of times, just from the pure immersion of the scene. There was a goodbye, a relief and acceptance, it still stirred emotion. A few scenes made me all giddy too!
TLDR; Wight is amazing and if you like fantasy with deep characters, this is a book for you.
