The Forgotten Dawn was an amazing book for my 2025 lineup! We meet Brida Larrow, a book lover like the rest of us, who enters a Courting Trial event with her BFF Kaidan, our golden retriever rep 😉, to determine what court she may or may not be accepted by. With mental health representation, court intrigue, morally gray characters and personal growth/found family, this book was a whirlwind of a story. I will admit, I have lots of unanswered questions that I NEED answered, but I have faith they will be with the next book! I highly recommend if you enjoy trials, the intricacies of courts, and elemental magic.
