This book resolves an arc of two characters that was started in book 1 or 2 and that made me realize that the author has a detailed plan. Every single detail mentioned will somehow become important later on. The plot is so intricate and well thought through. I love it! I like that we have puzzle pieces and a certain direction we're going but then things go wrong. The author makes you think that some things have to go wrong for Ellie to succeed. I get it, I understand. But it's so frustrating to see the Eld triumph for even a second! *sigh*

I love the Tairen so much, imagine being part of the pride of flying giant lions? Awesome. Reading the book, you really can’t wait for Elly to find her wings and sing along with the Tairens.

The book is great, just like the rest of the series. It’s a lot of twists and turns. A lot of back and forth. The war is here and you know it’s going to be aweful. You know the Eld is preparing something huge and you just don’t know when it’s going to strike or how hard.

It’s actually really stressful to read (in a good way, in a way that the characters’ stress is passed on to you through reading because it’s intense) and it makes me think of the Long Night episode of GOT for some reason.

This I a review for all five books because once I began this series there was no moment in between where I wanted to stop and write down thoughts on the finished book, so a full review of all five books will do… no spoilers!
WOW, would be the very first thing that comes to mind when I think about this world I was just spun into and weaved very carefully into its mists. I never wanted to leave…not even once. I was wound up in the world, the story and the characters themselves.
Everything came to life in this book. it was almost as if I was reading a story that was real and had happened somewhere on this real earth.
WOW!
First time ever reading anything by C.J. Wilson and I am absolutely in love. You write beautifully, and the words just pushed me into a certain sphere where nothing existed but the characters and the story. Excellent work, Excellent indeed.
This was a world created like none I have ever read about. Forget about Sherrilyn Kenyon’s darkhunterverse…this was just brilliance screaming a very high perfect note. This world included normal humans, fey, witches, elves, mage and much more. Now, I am not a very big fan of this kind of fantasy but I do not know what happened…I just fell in love with this one. So totally and completely.
It was perfect in all ways it can be/
The characters were all welcoming. All of them, from the two main characters;rain and ellysetta (beatfiull name btw) to the other characters, Bel, Shan, Elfeya, Adrial, Gaelen, the twins, and everyone else.
You know when I started this book, I thought it would just be a simple book but no. it turned out to be more than just a simple story . it became a story that grew from a simple story to a complex yet beautiful story.
I loved every part of it, I loved how it all came.
I want to say I am speechless but no I am not. I am in awe of this story. Would I ever write five books the way this author has done? I hope so…one day.
This was too good.
I repeat…too good.
In love!!!

I sped through this book, though I couldn't really tell you why because not much happened. The world building and writing were great, but the plot kind of stalled. I didnt feel like many plot points (even ones that got developed in this book) were resolved. I just want more Gaelen, he's the best character in my opinion.

I'm writing this as I finish the book at 3 in the morning. Once again C.L. Wilson did not disappoint! Lots of twists and turns that caught me off guard! I love the writing and the build up of the plot. Can't wait for it to all come to a head in the final book!

There's so much going on in this book! It's like 5 steps before the end and it's stressful for all the things that are happening and will happen. I think it wasn't as good as the rest but all these things had to happen before the end and it couldn't just be narrowed into one book. There are so many things that are builting up for 4 books now and I expect some of them to conclude somehow in this one but seems like the 5th book will be all full of stressful, amazing scenes that have you on the edge. The end was pretty sad but they Feys' belief of next lives and finding your true-mate again left me more hopeful than I would expect.
