My first read of January and it didn't disappoint! The story follows Vhalla Yarl who works as an apprentice in the Imperial library.
With the help of the silver-tongued heir to the throne, Vhalla soon discovers her magical abilities. Throw in a golden prince, rebellion, conspiracies and a bloody war and you've got an adventurous story!
The book is a seamless blend of magical characters and a compelling storyline. I won't give it five stars because I wanted to see more of aldrik's powers. He's called the strongest sorcerer of his time but I didn't see much of that. His character seemed a little flat at times and the same goes for Vhalla. I guess we'll see more character growth in the next book. Still, a lovely read.
