What can I say about this book and the author? Hmm.. Well, I really don't know why she writes so little when she creates amazing worlds! The first book was very good, but this one... It was definitely worth the wait. It keeps the reader interested, excited, and energized all the time.
I love fairy tale retellings and this one veered away from the traditional story a bit more than most but I liked that. It made this a unique story in its own rights. Selestra was born to be a witch but until her 18th birthday she is just her mother’s heir. They are the only magic left in the 6 isles and they are blood oathed at maturity to the king. The king who feasts on his peoples souls and lives out their potential lives making himself immoral. That was very interesting for me and I'm sure it will be for you too. I will not speak more about the story but if you love references to children's fairy tales you will fall in love with the story!
If you want to read something great, this book is for you. Read it and don't wonder!
