What a fantastic beginning to a promising new series. I am so excited to see where Legrand takes this story next.
Though a few things were predictable and not all the characters were fleshed out, I still found this book to be incredible.
The plot is unique, the characters are interesting, and the world-building is immaculate. This novel was exactly what I needed to be able to appreciate YA fantasy again. And all of this is really just build-up to me saying I loved it. In fact, it was one of my most anticipated books of the year. Still, from the moment I first read the summary for this book, I knew I would have to read it. That love I once felt for these sorts of characters and their worlds was lost. I knew all the tropes and no longer related to the characters. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with it, it’s just that I felt burned out by the genre. My Thoughts: I’ll be frank- I was wary jumping back into YA fantasy. To find her, Eliana joins a rebel captain and discovers that the evil at the empire’s heart is more terrible than she ever imagined.Īs Rielle and Eliana fight in a cosmic war that spans millennia, their stories intersect, and the shocking connections between them ultimately determine the fate of their world-and of each other.
