This book was so interesting. At first I couldn't figure out why we were seeing diary entries for Elluin when our main gal was Raeve. Plus the way that Kaan reacted to her when she had no idea who he was. At first I thought maybe Kaan and Raeve were like destined mates or something, but that is definitely not the case. 

This book made me cry, laugh, horny, and get so mad. I wish that there was more to the book. Even with how hefty it already is I hate were it stopped. I feel like we were so close to Raeve recovering her memories and rembering not only that she's Elluin but who Kaan is to her as well as her daughter Kyzari, though I'm not sure if she knows the name of her child. 

I hope that Kyzari doesn't get the same treatment that Raeve receive by the scavenger king, and it makes me wonder I'd he knows that Kyzari is his "neice" did he know that Raeve was Elluin and that she was his "sister-in-law"? And if he did why did he do what I think he did, considering we don't have much information on the time that Raeve spent with the scavenger king. 

Also is the other that we see from time to time is Slátra, Elluin's moonplume inside her somehow? Is that how she was able to be healed and reborn sorta? And if so do we learn how this happened. And if it has happened before.

Also does Tyroth know that Kyzari isn't his child but Kaan's? And if so why hasn't he done anything with that knowledge. Or did he not see the point when Elluin and Slàtra died and went into the sky together?

Also fuck the author having the last thing being us finding out who sent Nee to Raeve. That is almost worse than being left on a cliff hanger with more questions than answers. Especially with where Kyzari is when she gets the return lark. Of all the people that I thought could have sent the lark throughout the book it was not her own daughter. 

I have so many questions and I am not a patient person. I need the second book now and not next October.

At first I was concerned I wouldn’t like this book. It was pretty slow to get going (lots of world-building!) but once it gets going, I was utterly captivated by it. That slow start becomes worth it and you are left with a thoroughly satisfying end. I will be preordering the next one and will be waiting impatiently until Autumn 2025

Wow! This book was just amazing! I fell in love with everything about this story and these characters. I think Raeve might be my favourite FMC ever now. And Kaan…well Kaan is just the most 🖤🖤🖤 man ever! I can’t wait to see where this will all go with the next installment!

Excellent voice acting. Especially for the character "The Other". *chef's kiss. It's such a cool and unique fantasy world. Love the world building.

Absolutely beautiful story. I'm in love with the world full of different people and living conditions. Such a unique magical system. And the dragons ♥️. 
This was exactly what I needed. I got lost in the story and this beautiful world. I fell in love with these characters and my heart broke over and over . 
I can't wait to see where the story will lead us . It's definitely a must read!
