I think this book has to grow on you! It has a relatively slow start, but I have never read a book with such an original take on the „chosen one“ Trope. 

The worldbuilding, the characterarcs and the magic system are just insane and the story uses the found family trope in such a unique way!

This was a great first book and I’m excited for the rest of the series!!!

This book literally had me completely spellbound from the first page. Literally ran to order the sequel AND the authors book for a separate series. Like omfg. Yes it’s YA. Yes the pros is super easy to ready but god is it beautifully written AND the story!? Don’t get me started. I will not take slander about this book. If it was not for you that’s fine, but it was certainly for me. 😇

It was an incredible story! I read the Six Swans fairy tale as a kid, so this book was somehow quite nostalgic to me xD. The main character is absolutely amazingly written. The side characters too! I especially liked
Raikama! I thought her story was so interesting and the relationship between her and Shiori was so cute ;^;. It was a nice twist to make the stepmother kind instead of evil like in the original fairytale
. Also Seryu was robbed ;-; He was such a cool character and we didn’t see enough of him.. I liked Takkan, but he seemed a little to perfect… Would definitely recommend this book tho!!

The cover is gorgeous and has a beautifully illustrated map to accompany the story. The world was stunning and I’d love to learn more about it. My main critique is that the pacing wasn’t great - some scenes dragged while others shifted tone so quickly and needed more time to change scene. I loved all of the characters, but wish we had more time to learn about them all in more depth.

Et un livre du 12 months 12 books challenge en plus. Et surtout l’édition française et magnifique. Alors je me disais que le résumé spoilai pas mal, mais j’étais loin de m’attendre à ce qui m’attendais. J’ai beaucoup beaucoup aimé, l’histoire ce lit extrêmement bien, la plume et fluide, on a des surprises et en plus le personnage principal évolue. Bref c’était top. Encore un bon livre. Hâte d’avoir la suite
