I hoped that this book would be better than Spin the Dawn, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The premise and world promised adventure and intrigue, but I struggled to imagine the world presented. The characters did not seem to have personalities, which made it hard to care about the plot.

The romance, as with Spin the Dawn, was very insta-love. Maia and Edan don't seem to have much in common beyond loving each other. Beyond that, Maia does not make big choices. I wanted more from her. I wanted more consequences in the very thin plot. Again, the magic system and mythos are underdeveloped.

Great premise, but unfortunately does not live up to it.
