I have to say that this is not normally a typical read, but I absolutely found myself truly engrossed in this fantastic magical adventure which focuses on putting dark magic to rest before Tavia's home is destroyed.
The story is based on four main characters. Tavia, Wesley, Karam and Saxony and although you really want to dislike Wesley in the beginning; he becomes a likeable asset.
I enjoyed reading how these four characters also have a past connection, which in truth makes this a really read. I also liked the way the character's names are referenced as the chapter names, making understanding the characters easier, and the map in the book is a really great idea for referencing.
Alexandra Christo is a truly talented author, and I can't wait for the second book in this series.
