5.0

Curious about Elisabeth and Edvard's next steps, I joined them in their new journey.
From destruction, pain and hate, Zibby works her way into a path of knowledge, compassion and healing.
Becoming is a powerful story that teaches us to embrace every darkness and light of our beings and accept ourselves for what we are and the path we have journeyed so far. The author takes to meet the elves and embrace their culture, stories, and curses. I loved the time they spend with them as much as I enjoyed following Elisabeth back home. No longer a child, she will lead them on the right path.
Elisabeth's scars (of her mind and body) may come from the ugliness of an evil act, but they tell us how much she had to suffer for justice. Her ability to chose kindness and understanding above all is more powerful than any magic.

My favorite scene was Zibby's confrontation with the Dowager Queen. It was like thanking your adversaries personally for making you a stronger person in your life.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
