To inherit the skies, you must scavenge the stars.
- Rehanese proverb

This retelling of A Count of Monte Cristo turned out to be quite a fun read. Amaya/Silverfish remained a strong character and her motivations remained rather stable throughout the story. Cayo’s persistence to look out for his sister kept me interested in his character and I am relieved the story didn’t fully operate around a romance between him and Amaya. This was a story of justice and revenge. However, I felt like I needed more information on the ash fever to understand its deadliness and widespread impact, but that may be left to the next book as the story continues.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
