Wow wow wow. Killer. I’m so grateful I came across this book because of an instagram post by another favorite author. Truly fantastical and enthralling. I’ll sing this book’s praises all year. Reads like this give new weight to a five star read.

This has to be the most beautiful novel I’ve ever read. Ross’ lyrical prose is unlike any other author, and I absolutely devoured it. 

Though the fantasy element is there, Ross slowly builds the world in a way that feels inviting and never leaves you feeling confused. The relationships between Adaira and Jack and Torin and Sidra were so beautifully reminiscent of each other, and they interweaved flawlessly. 

This is a novel about belonging and home. Is it your blood that defines you? Or the people you choose?

This is written for adults, but you can tell the author is used to writing for a more youthful audience. It’s fairly airtight, but some things seem to be brushed over, like Jack’s quick turn from the mainland life he lead (the passages about his struggle between Cadence and the mainland aren’t so convincing). The supposed hatred between him and Adaira is laughably weak. But the tangible growth Torin experiences with Sidra, continuing into the sequel, is incredibly done. His thread is by far my favorite. This book is incredibly encompassing, excellent and lush world-building. It’s rare for me to give 5 stars so 4 is no detriment to the author! Highly recommend if you like palace intrigue, magic, and exploration of masculinity like Torin’s.
