Green and Deadly Things by Jenn Lyons was the kind of epic fantasy the author has created in the past.

One unexpectedly pleasant surprise I found with this book was the horror-esque vibes that it contained. Events that take place very early in the book are painted quite horrifically, and it really leant a dark vibe to the book that I had not expected going into the book, which really worked for it and drew me in to the setting.
