3.0

This was a good story. Character and world building was minimal, but the cultural aspects that were used, I enjoyed. It was easy to see how Lucier would have Hana and Sam move from friends to lovers even though we glean that theor relationship will develop off page when the book ends. I like that she sends them off on their own journeys to further find themselves. Although the magic system was not explained, I liked that our characters had access to magical powers that allowed them to protect their home.
