Review: Legacy of the Brightwash (Tainted Dominion #1) by Krystle Matar

August 16, 2021 by Paige Leave a Comment

Legacy of the Brightwash takes you on a journey, the characters you meet at the start of the book go through huge emotional and moral changes throughout the course of the novel. It is such an amazing thing to read. Krystle Matar has managed to craft and develop so much in the course of just one book.

Now, without further ado, strap yourselves in tight, we’re looking to the future (and the future is bright.)
