I listened to this audiobook courtesy of Netgalley.  I quite enjoyed it.  It was a nice break when you need a light hearted story to pass the time away.  Now some may argue my “lighthearted” story.  This is about the sources of light and darkness, good and evil.  And It is very literal.  The world is dark.  No sun, just night.  The queen of the night has been “good” to her people or so they think.  But one child achieving womanhood will change all that.  This child is the last Sun child.  And the only magic being that can truly bring the sun to the dark evil queen’s land.  So much of this book is traveling, or questing to get from one land to another.  They have to get out of the dark lands, and into the North where Siria can fully develop her power, find her true family, and help defeat the evil queen Iyzabel.  Of course there is a love interest.  It wouldn’t be a YA book without it.  And there is fear of doing the right thing, and the awkwardness of “shining you light” to be who you truly are and not just who your parents want you to be.  I believe this is a standalone and I am happy with it.  It doesn’t need a sequel, and I’m not sure I would read one if there was.  The story did what it was meant to do, bring light to the darkness.
