Some of the twists are easily predicted but I didn’t feel cheated in figuring them out. In fact, I felt they were justified because Melissa Bashardoust did an exceptional job of capturing our heroine’s choices throughout her evolution.

The setting was beautiful, and after reading the extra info at the end of the book the characters become even more interesting...
Spoiler
One thing I was so glad about was the ending, so very glad that Soraya found how to coexist with her unusual powers instead of blindly getting rid of them, perhaps becoming what she feared? But in a good wayOh and the cover is beautiful, one of the prettiest books on my shelf now hehe (that wasn't a chore to read as well!)
