4.0

I finished this book a few days ago, and I just needed a few days to process the amazingness (is that a word?) that was this book!

Seventy years has the elven prince been lost to the Darkness, assumes dead by his people and tortured for the key to the book that would lead to a world untouched by the Darkness’s evil.

But when Tellie, a young girl who longs for a family, is taken from her home along with her faithful friend, Kelm, and locked away in the stronghold of Tertorem, she brings an unexpected light to the prince.

Their fates are tied to the prince. Will there quest for life and love and light pull him from the Darkness that holds him captive? Or will he simply pull them down with him?

Y’all. There are PICTURES IN THIS BOOK AND THEY’RE BEAUTIFUL! Just ... I knew there was art for the different parts, but actually full page pictures blew my mind!

The story, right. So at first I really hated Errance - the elven prince. He was aloof, ungrateful and just kinda a jerk. And while that’s to be expected, it just kinda bothered me a little bit. But the beauty was in his redemption. I don’t want to ruin anything, but suffice to say I stayed up way to late to finish that part.
