"I bring you the whole of my heart at the rising of the moon and the setting of the stars."
This book took me by surprise. There were a lot of ups and downs, but in truth, I couldn't stop reading about the magic, politics, and mythical creatures. The level of detail that this story has is unmatched, and I love that the author found her inspiration through Philippine mythology. This epic fantasy reminded me of Star Wars; the political war, rebellion, light and dark (force), and the technology oldschool airships. The slow burn romance between Talasyn and Alaric is very prickly, and if they don't confess their real feelings by book two, I might explode.
