WOW. A debut novel from Cole and an exceptional one at that! 
I loved the sister relationship between Elara and Faron. These sisters have had to face SO much so young. 
The trauma from war has greatly affected these girls as they fought to save their country as actual children!! 
Still incredibly young, our sisters now find themselves at the forefront of the nations newest disaster. I loved watching Elara grow and become more confident in a world way different from her own. I loved seeing Faron forced to grow up and acknowledge that she has been selfish her whole life, and that being the empyrean is a much bigger commitment than just the title.
