This books makes you think and make you have all the feeling. You're not ready for.
In a world where people with magic are discriminated against because of the magic which almost felt like an apartheid or Jim Crow was a powerful message. 

The parallels I made in my mind while listing to this book made me sad and also make me feel hope. your truly learn the meaning off all the sorts of love in the world and how it can ben used against your enemies. Venus is truly a powerful character that went through to much in her life and the journey that she will make in this book with her family wil not make it easy but will it fix the relationship with her sister Janus.

The way that is story is told it will keep you on the edge off your seat until the last minute. I also felt the pain that author probably has experience in a world where she would not be accepted but by reading this book you have the hope that maybe by reading these kind of books we can improve this world

The narrator does an amazing job. She does do voice for all the characters which I'm normally not something I enjoy but she was really good and it didn't annoy me like after hour 4 of listening.
