5.0

I cried and it was LOVELY! I loved the magic and the relationships explored with family (found and blood), morality, religion and a higher power, and the ethics of war. For a duology that is marketed as a romance, these book—this one especially—holds so, so much more. 

For a book with this many dense topics and themes, it is an incredibly easy and fast paced read. Every character is precious and I would protect WITH MY LIFE! (Attie and Tibias have my whole heart!) And the way in which the main couple fell so believable in their love and devotion is miraculous, somehow never coming across as over-the-top or cheesy. 

This has entered my top reads of the year so far for sure!
