#BookReview: The Sleepless (Sleepless Duology, #1) by Jen Williams

Book Cover
Synopsis: Godkiller meets Powerless in this epic gods-and-monsters romantic fantasy from British Fantasy Award-winning author Jen Williams.

Welcome to a world where gods and monsters roam the earth . . .


Elver is the guardian of the wild and dangerous monster forest. Saved from the brink of death by a god, her skin will poison anyone she touches.

Artair is on a mission—one that takes him face-to-face with Elver at her most ruthless. But her defenses are useless when she discovers he's the only human impervious to her deadly gift. For Artair isn't human: he's one of the Sleepless, cursed to share his body with an evil spirit.

Lucian inhabits their body while Artair sleeps, and he is hell-bent on manipulating Elver for his dark purposes. But Elver is harbouring secrets too, and she has her own reasons for feigning an alliance with these two souls.

Caught in the crossfire of gods, monsters, and a dangerous magic they can barely understand, it is only a matter of time before the paths the three of them choose to take will set alight the very foundations of their world.

With a love triangle like you’ve never seen it, incredible world-building, brilliant writing, and a dangerous quest, The Sleepless will have you spellbound.

My Review:
Darkly whimsical and richly imagined. The Sleepless pulls you into a vivid world filled with eerie magic, clever lore, and just the right touch of dry humor. The atmosphere is immersive, and the unique take on the mundane adds charm and depth. While the characters weren’t the standout for me, the worldbuilding and tone made this a compelling and memorable read. A strong start to a series I’m excited to continue!
