This is a beautifully written debut YA romantasy! I loved so much about this book: the chemistry between Zair and Dathan, how fleshed out they both are as individual characters, the lush worldbuilding, and I always adore themes of family in books. 

The illustrations in the ebook are also a nice touch!

This does end on a cliffhanger, but it’s only a couple months until the next book in the series comes out :)
