Amira, Daindreth, and Thadred are on the run after escaping from Vesha and her plans. They’re hoping to make contact with Istovari sorceresses in hopes of finding a way to break Daindreth’s curse. Along the way, the three of them get to know one another a little better and learn to work together. Still, none of them really know what to expect or who to trust, and the stakes may be higher than they realize.
This one moved quickly and was a transitional novel in a lot of ways, but it gave an interesting dynamic to the group. I liked the fact that we get to see the trio learn to work together, and we get to learn more about all three of the main characters. I enjoyed getting a better idea about Daindreth’s thoughts and personality. We get his point of view for about half the book, and that really help flesh out things quite a bit. We also get Thadred’s point of view which was fantastic. He might actually be my favorite character. Pulling all three of them out of their comfort zone definitely was a great choice for keeping things interesting.
We also get to learn more about both the world, and the backgrounds of both Amira and Thadred. There were some really interesting revelations about Thadred which I’ll be interested in seeing how it develops. There’s also a few new characters who I’ll be interested in seeing if they play a larger role in the next book. It’s a solid series so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing where the story takes me next. Four out of five stars.
