A remarkable book that defies expectation in the realm of good versus evil. Taylor’s descriptive prose brings the characters and their environments to life, immersing the reader in a rich and imaginative world. The unique and imaginative characters are well-developed, and their complexity adds depth to the story. The author skillfully explores the gray areas of morality, creating a captivating and thought-provoking narrative. 

Memorable characters and delightful world-building. I had a lot of fun reading it.

A Classic Tale with a Twist 

This book is a tale of good vs evil, but it's not what you are expecting. While reading this book I was drawn to the themes of acceptance vs antipathy, what is good and what is evil, it also shines a light on what we are willing to give of ourselves for the sake of others.
The imagery is detailed and the author is able to paint a vivid picture of the characters as well as their environments. The characters are unique, imaginative and compelling.
Fantasy is not typically my preferred genre but I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to more works from this author!

This is a fun and page-turning journey in a mythical and magical universe that is somewhat similar and yet entirely alien from our own. The characters are well developed, and I left the book wanting to learn more about them and their lives in these realms.

It's very difficult for authors to grasp the gray (as I'm sure many have used this term). There is a light and nuanced balance in interesting characters. Nobody is all good or all bad in other words. I find characters that are extremely one-sided to be quite uninteresting and yet, it's difficult for writers to grasp that idea. K.M. Taylor is an expert at this nuance and makes the world come to life and it's been a breath of fresh air to read this.

The author has been compared to having a writing style similar to Brian Lumley and embraces and excels in that style. Her characters are unique and the obstacles they encounter and how they are afflicted by those actions to overcome those obstacles are intriguing. These characters are also never defined as good and evil and the balance in writing them is superb. Although the setting is not our reality, she weaves in familiar history and lore that helps to ease the readers into this universe. I highly recommend this and cannot wait to see the next book with these characters and this world KM Taylor has created.

An engaging story from start to finish - the characters and worlds are well-fleshed out and the author’s writing style makes it difficult to put this book down. Fantastic read!

Fantasy is not everyone's genre because it's just so out there and sometimes the story kinda gets lost in all of the abstract. This is a book that anyone can enjoy because the story won't loose you. It's well written and the characters are very relatable. If you want to take a break from reality then grab a copy of Codex Sohrakia: The Gifted Dark, and experience a dark fantasy world that will challenge your perception of good and evil.

I love this book! Just when you think you have it figured out, you don't! The characters are delightful and the story is mesmerizing and thought provoking. I think I will go read it again!!

A tale as old as time. What is good, what is evil? Codex Sohrakia is a fantastic novel, beautifully written. The world building by KM Taylor is well crafted and excellently described. I found myself questioning Saham’a’iel who reads to me as a sort of god figure within the story. All power and regal. In my opinion he is the best character in the book! The Immortal Realms are an interesting concept and for anyone who likes a different sort of fantasy, this is definitely worth a read.
The themes explored within Codex Sohrakia can have a deeper meaning than just beyond the dark and the light.

This was an absolutely fantastic journey into a world separated by light and dark that has all kinds of twists and turns you wouldn't expect and amazing world building. Fantastical, ethereal, and spiritual in an other worldly sense with the most intense visuals and creatively described characters that you really end up feeling deeply for. Absolutely worth the read and will have you dying to know more about the lore, the creatures within, and where they go from here! Can't wait for the next book!

This book tells a familiar tale in a whole new way. It’s sumptuous scenery and emotions roll the reader through a metaphysical and theological journey of self-discovery by giving us characters both intriguing and flawed. It is a story, a romance, a conflict asking the question: “Why are we and who are we?” within the detailed confines of a fantasy setting. The world building is descriptive and hauntingly beautiful. The characters are lovable even when they are doing things that roil your blood. Set in another world or dimension, it tells a tale of attempted redemption and love. The prose carried me along through its dark and mysterious world with little effort, but was “meaty” enough to make me want to visit this world more! I have read it twice and want to visit this Dark World again!

This book is an absolute page turner,from the first paragraph it hooked me,the characters realms ,fascinating creatures and world building are just amazing.
I don't review many books but this one deserves to be written about,it's mind blowing.
Dark versus light ,magic ,redemption, lost love...its all here and more.
If you are looking for a book that draws you in,tosses you around and satisfies every emotion then buy this book,you won't regret it.
The prose is stunning and reminds me of the Master Brian Lumley with some Clive Barker thrown in but has its own unique style.,amazing, amazing amazing.
Watch this author,they will soar ,10/10
I bought the ebook,loved it so much I bought the stunning hardcover which now sits proudly on my shelf.

What a fantastic new author! A must read if you are into dark fantasy. While not a reader or fan of fantasy, I still found myself drawn into the world she creates. Full of characters and beings you really have a passion for and care about. Her writing style is amazing, very poetic. I really think this series is going places. You wont be dissapointed!
