Absolutely ADORED this book - so excited for the next one. The lore was amazing, the "magic" system was fabulous and I'm really excited to see how the plot threads finish in the next series. The romance actually felt somewhat realistic and I'm so happy to have read a Christian authored fantasy that is something I'd actually recommend - though whether or not it's clean (as mentioned before) is debatable. It had a lot of violence, several makeout sessions, mentions of sexual desire and allusions to sex, as well as the fantasy element which isn't straight-up magic, but does require wearing animal bones. I know some families who would pass on this book - and that's fine! This is just a reminder that "clean" books don't really exist and that what is defined as a "clean read" changes from person to person ;)

Great action, interesting mythology, and a couple of surprising plot turns powered this book from start to finish, but unfortunately the romance, which was a huge plot point, failed to be believable, and that always takes me out of a story. I didn't much care for Bastien or Aileese either so that didn't help matters. Sabine's journey was far more interesting, and that alone kept this a four star read
DNF at 51%. I kept waiting for the story in the characters to get more interesting, but alas.
