This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I heard about this book from social media. I have seen many a bookstagram post with this gorgeous cover and so with the 2nd book recently released I thought it was high time I caught up.

The narrator took some getting used to but it was the perfect choice for this book. The accent really makes you feel like you are in a faraway land. This really helps you to believe that anything is possible including magic.

The story is told from three POV. Zélie , Amari and Inan.

Zélie is a bit of an underdog but she is easy to root for. She has been through so much before this book even begins and by the end, I honestly do not know how she kept going. She is one strong and brave woman.

Talking of strong and brave women this book is full of them. From Zélie and Amari to Zu this book was full of strong women. If you need some real feisty females to take inspiration from then look no further than this story. I won't say they are perfect because no one is but there are a lot of things to learn from these women.

There are lots of twists and turns in this story along with characters who are constantly battling with not only each other but themselves.

I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to listening to book 2 shortly.
