This was good for a debut fantasy. I thought the character development for Ericen was well-done, but Caylus’ development wasn’t enough to warrant the romance with Thia. It felt forced, and unnecessary.
I really liked the first third of the book that let us see and experience Thia’s depression, but it didn’t seem true to the story that she was able to shake it off just because the stakes got high enough.
I also felt that we needed more information about the crows and Thia’s kingdom in the story, instead of in the back of the book as additional, almost glossary-type information.
