A tough read but a very good one. I don't read magical realism (I tried one book before but didn't finish it), but I think the audiobook really helped out and made it an enjoyable read. Echo is a wonderful character, and all her friends and family added so much to the story as well. It was tough reading about their struggles and the trauma they all go through, but it was also really nice to see how the young wizards were able to lift the negative veils and help heal those who were hurting when they could. The ending set up a nice hopeful feel as well.

I initially picked up The Chosen One to read, but upon finding out it was a sequel to this, I checked this out asap off Libby and completed it first before continuing with The Chosen One. Knowing how well written (and well narrated) this was, I'm stoked to continue with The Chosen One.

Definitely read content/trigger warnings because what Echo, her family, and her friends go through is very heavy to read.

THIS BOOK IS THE BEST! If you don’t cry idk what’s wrong with you because this book has all the emotions! The magical realism is stunning and works so well with the story to elevate it to heights I didn’t know books could achieve. If you want a soul ripping book get this one!
