"Be a torch for just one soul in the dark…or burn like the sun for all of them."

The ending of this book actually changed my rating to a five-star! I am pleasantly surprised how well Prisca's plan all came together. Prisca's magical ability stopping time is fascinating and plays an intriguing role to the entire plot. I look forward to learning more about this world. I feel like we've only scratched the surface.
