 Oh, right. I decided now always start by saying that I was blessed enough to be selected as a part of Tatiana’s incredible ARC team, I read her free copy for pure and total joy, and I’m reviewing it in exchange for it, but mostly because when I found something I like, I love talking about it… even when, well, you will see.

I need to be honest, it’s being complicated for me to find words to express how amazing this book was. I just found a new favorite author. I just found a new favorite series, and that’s usually a hard thing to achieve, or at least that’s what I think, with what the world says about second parts being bad. This second part was the best, and it’s just amazing because, thanks to, the first part.

If you like adventure, big schemes, political affairs, a new totally different setting that at the same time it’s able to be close to your heart and not at all has to be in a different world, just a different location (think about your local desert 😉), this book is for you. I wasn’t looking for any of that, and this book found me. My journey with this book was speechless. It didn’t say The End, but you feel the goodbye, and I’m still not ready to let it go, I still feel there are more things to tell, more adventures to live, more dragons to slay, and more moments to hunt. But I get it, this hunt finished, which made me able to start new ones.

Ah! I have a warning: don’t believe that all the synopsis says is everything you will get. You will find more. A lot more. And you will be amazed and you will think you will be satisfied. But you will not. Everyone grows here, it almost feels as if they were being grounded. Everyone finds or confirms their purposes. Everyone has a happy ending… well, more or less, it can be whatever you say, but to me, it is not an ending. Things are just starting.

I still love Ra-ja and Kai, even more if it’s possible. Zephyr is like a brother to me now, I like him, I can bear him, but he’s not my favorite. Ysai is, and you’re going to find out I like him a lot more after I found out he can also be violent 😏 I still don’t stand Suri, but I like Nico more. And, surprisingly, I get to like Kelin more than Azan! I adore each of their scenes with their respective friends, but still, Kelin rises to my heart. Neema didn’t give me a reason to like her, so she still doesn’t. And we somehow get new characters! Rae is totally adorable, I really love them. And Jilah! I’m grateful for her existence and her constant presence. I wasn’t pleased with Kibari, but I’m also not happy with her path. I still want to know more about Shamai-ta, and surprisingly, I don’t want to know Kai’s and Nico’s and Rae’s late tah anymore, I want to get to know more about their alive tah better. And these are only the characters. I have trillion new questions about the whole world now that everything’s “finished” and I can’t wait to know what Tatiana will give us next. Whatever it is, I know I will like it.
