This book is so sweet and I love exploring Tea's training, as slow as it may be it builds up beautifully and I'm always so excited to for following chapter. The ending is such a twist and I can't wait to read the sequel.

I love the way we explore a young girl's mind in the midst of such chaos and madness. I also love her relationship with her big brother, they're the perfect pair, so to find out what happens in the next book is absolutely heartbreaking. 

It's absolutely unfathomable to me that they severed their bond and he's no longer her familiar, they adore each other, it depresses me greatly, what also shocks me is that KALEN DIES AND HE ENDS UP BEING HER LOVER?!? I really want to see how this relationship develops because it's a pure enemies to lovers, that was so shocking.


In other words, this book has phenomenal world building and beautiful descriptive language of all of scenery. It's not particularly over whelming and perfectly positioned to help us gain a sense of this beautiful and dangerous world. The ending is such a plot twist though, goodness I'm still in shock!

Essentially I love this book! Rin Chupeco is officially my favourite Chinese Filipino author, probably my favourite YA author next to Cassie Cassidy.
