Draven has a very specific writing style and type of stories she likes to tell. I didn't necessarily dislike the characters or the story, but I think it was a little slow for me. In addition, Silhara was pretty deplorable at times in the beginning. This is why I somewhat feel like this is a Beauty and the Beast again, but it's not quite too. She's spying on him, everyone knows it, and they end up falling in love. This is more she falls first and I either would rather not knowing his POV or having him have better opinions of her earlier.
Neith I thought was okay. She starts to stand up to Silhara a little, but it's not strong armed. She softens him with soft touches and words more than anything. Not my favorite type, but sometimes you want a more gentle type of woman who is also strong without having to be a fighter. I just wish sh was a little more assertive more often, I guess. I know it's partially because she is a bound woman, but still.
However, I really like Draven's world building and writing style. He writing style is very storytelling, fairytale type of writing. It's not necessarily lyrical, but it's not like your typical fantasy writing style.
The end was okay. Not necessarily surprising, but a HEA.

Probably the best $2.99 I've spent on a book in the Kindle store. Magic and romance and sacrifice and humor and everything you'd want in a story.
I loved this, think I'm a solid Grace Craven fan now.

I'm not usually a big fan of romance but I really enjoyed [b:Radiance|24473763|Radiance (Wraith Kings, #1)|Grace Draven|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1422721500l/24473763._SX50_.jpg|40780371] by Grace Draven so I wanted to try another book of hers. Sadly this one was a big no ! The plot and the characters were unoriginal, un-entertaining and really really really repetitive (we get that she is not beautiful, we get that her voice is most beautiful voice in the world, we get that the dog smells really bad). Also, the characters were just so annoying and had literally no chemistry. The relationship between the 2 main characters was terribly weird. To be honest, I should have guessed this was going to be weird after reading about the main girl that she was "blessed with a voice that could make a man come". Also the main guy's actions throughout this book just disgusted me.
I don't often DNF books but I couldn't get further into this one.

just really not feeling the dialogue 😕
I misplaced this book three-quarters of the way through. When I found it, I realized I didn't really care about the plot or the characters. So I didn't finish it.
