I really enjoyed this book it had a compelling story great characters and really good world building. I really liked the characters especially Elianna,Simon,Rielle and Audric I liked Elianna for how she would do anything to protect her family I like Simon for the role he plays throughout the story. I liked how Rielle is the strong female character that is quite dependable and is also capable of many things not so good. I like Audric the crown prince for how much he seems to love and care for Rielle no matter what. I also liked the start of a romance between Elianna and Simon it was a better and a more slow burn type romance I look forward to where that will go by the next book. I really liked the plot where you get bits of the past and the present from both MCs so we see what shaped each character to who they ended up being. I really liked the basic premise MC 1 saves best friend and so her power is revealed and she has to go through trails. I really like for the next part the MC from the over 1000 years later and her trying to find her missing mother and finding out many things along the way. So overall I really liked this book I will read the next book some time soon.
