It took me a bit to get into this book, the characters have since big things happen before we're really attached to them
That being said, once it kicked up it picked up and I found myself speeding to the end, as with Ross' other work.

I am having a really hard time writing this review, and I don’t know if it is because over my life I have just become extremely judgmental/critical about how books are written or what, but I didn’t love this book yet I couldn’t put it down.
I did think the book did move fast; there is so much world building to explore in this book. I want to know more about the Commander, more about the history of the land, more about class hierarchy, and more about the movtivations of the villains. I have so many questions and it doesn’t seem like there will ever be any answers. I don’t want to air all of my grievances so I don’t spoil the book for anyone.
I did like the the story and relationships throughout the book. I was invested in the plot and how the sisters would grow as more of the story was revealed. I think the dramatic twists in the end made sense for the book. The loss wasn’t out of nowhere and you knew a loss was coming, nothing was really just for shock value. This book is definitely where my headspace is at, I just want to consume fantasy fiction books, so I do think my future books will consist mostly of this genre. For right now I am going to get through my TBR pile to justify buying more books.
I think this book is good for people who want a good flowing fiction book to escape into; nothing too difficult to read and keeps your attention.

I will now read anything Rebecca Ross writes 🫡 Her vibes, writing, and characters are so incredible!!
LOVED:
- The sisterhood!!! I’m already a sucker for sibling relationships but you could see and feel the strength of love that Evadne and Halcyon had for each other!
- The plot twists!
- I LOVE a good map 👏🏼
LIKED:
- The relationship was the perfect amount for me 🥹 That ending 🥲
- The song/musical magic was so cool!
MEH:
- There we’re some plot lines that didn’t feel fully fleshed out.
- I would’ve LOVED to see more of the mythology.
