First of all, this cover is everything! I'm loving Sarah Beth Durst too much right now. This was like Hunger Games, but 10,000% better?! And with spirit magic? And queens? And islands made of sea monster bones? Only docked a star cuz the romance was kinda bleh. I liked Kelo more doing his own thing and painting sh!t.Â

This is the first Renthia book I've read, but I didn't feel like I was missing out by jumping into things this way. The book was beautiful, the characters were compelling, and the narrator was one of those people who just emotes beautifully. The book begins by setting a scene of idyllic island life, and she just sounded delighted about absolutely everything. I'll be checking out more of this series.
