My Review:
It’s not very often that I read a fantasy book, but when I do, I need to love it. This one definitely did not disappoint. I loved the sisters’ relationship in this book. Even though they hadn’t seen each other in years, they had a really strong bond. They would do anything to protect each other. I am also obsessed with the slow burn romance in this book! I am usually a romance reader, so I definitely appreciate when there is romance in fantasy books.
This book had a great ending. I loved the way that it wrapped everything up nicely. While everything didn’t have a happy ending, it overall left meetups feeling content. I also love that it ended feeling wrapped up without an epilogue. I really appreciate that in a book!
I loved the magic in this story, and how well it was described without being too complex. It was just the right amount of world building. I will admit when I saw the list at the beginning of the book of the nine relics and what they do, I was worried I was going to struggle to keep up with them all. That is definitely not the case! This book was really easy to read.
