This book was given to me by the author but all opinions are my own.

Kou is such a great character I thought. He was abandoned at a young age by his father and taken in by Weylon to be raised. He befriends Jace, whom he knows to be someone who will turn into a werewolf at the age of 21. Kou has to be in hiding for fear of his fate turning out like his twin brother.

I like the adventure that Kou and Jace go on. Filled with mythical creatures, interesting world building, and some great side characters This is a great fantasy. The end was so special for me.. To see Kou come into his powers and I can't wait for book two because we'll get to explore those powers a lot more, I'm sure. I did appreciate the LGBTQ rep too.
