‘Night was not a time defined by the colors of the sky, but the sun did keep the house awake.’
Piper has floored me once again. I could spend forever reading this series and live alongside Nox and Amaris. Even the creatures in their world are so incredibly beautiful.
The dichotomy of beauty of ‘dark’ and ‘light’, as a consistent motif throughout the world that Piper develops, is a true masterpiece of creation as it has in-numerous interpretations. The dedication to exploring the intricacies of each character becomes even more committed into the second novel as we get to experience the boundless attributes of our favourite characters, especially my angels: Zaccai and Yaz. One of the most exciting chapters features the University full of drama and quests and magical academia and I only wish I could attend. I could talk about the extreme talent in the extended metaphors within the TSAIS and I would never get tired. Piper has an amazing gift for translating stunning and breathtaking worlds into words and back into our imaginations. Every second of this series makes me excited and allows me to dive in at my own pace. As a longer book it did take me longer to read but every second I didn’t want to end. I fall in love with Nox and Amaris more and more in every page but am constantly comforted by their humanity (ironically) and growth. ‘This was love.’ This was the defining statement of the relationship between Nox and Amaris. Their love is so much more complicated than any other relationship that they maintain. It depends on truth and feeling and displays how natural and blessed their bond is. They are fated to be both together and apart with neither distance defining their connection. It is truly heart warming to be able to read such an extraordinary contribution to the queer canon and for the fantasy not to focus on the traumas of the community but on the adventures of these freaking awesome characters. The new plot twists had me biting my nails and almost screaming and crying in public. The ending had me tearing through every sentence because I needed to know what was happening as soon as possible and now I wait impatiently on book three but I’m very excited to dive into the adventure. I’m breathless, speechless, and will not be moving again until the next book!

I found Piper without knowing about the controversy and then read all about it. I know she apologized for her mistakes and I accept that. I chose to read the first book and while I agree that her writing can be a little overwrought and there are typos, overall I just really liked the story. There are some plot holes that bother me a bit too, so for all these reasons I gave it only 4 stars. But I liked it enough to read book 2 and I am looking forward to #3. Do I think she could benefit from an editor? Sure. Whoever she has now clearly isn't up to the task but I truly felt that the overall story was good enough to allow me to excuse the rest of it. At the end of the day, they are fantasy novels, an escape and excellent in that regard.
