Listen I really liked this. Loved the world building, loved the romance and LOVED the politics. I swear world building and politics are so important to me when reading and this was done well in my opinion. It gave eragon meets Grisha verse.

This is a new way to envision dragons, the characters are deep and interesting, likable in their flaws, that the plot is tight and clean. I had a lot of joy clenching my teeth as the events of the story played out, and I rooted for all of the POV characters for different things. The ending was satisfying, leaving me able to close the book and feel good, but also look forward to the next books in the series, quite a feat! Worth the read, and makes you look forward to the next!

What if you lived in a world where a class of people have trapped gods within them to use their powers? What if a way is found to do this to a common person?

Elizabeth May developed a world that was full of intrigue and revolution. She looked at how far people will go to find their way out from underneath the thumb of leaders who are literally burning the world down to keep their power. Enter two sisters who's mother found a way to give them the same powers.

The characters throughout the book are well developed, Sera has spent her whole life fighting, she is a warrior, but more than anything she is a protector. The god within her demands her blood for it's assistance.

Galina has lived a life of suffering and is placed in the heart of the empire to bring down the empress.

There is a small amount of spice in the book, but one of the most touching moments in the book shows deep caring and passion between two people. The way she wrote that moment showed love in a way that was so unique and said everything without using words.

I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more from Elizabeth May, thank you to Net Galley and DAW for the ARC
