This story follows the story of a daughter of two strong magical families. She can see magic floating through the air always out of reach. When her last chance arrives to gain magic it passes her by. She chooses to do the unthinkable to gain magic and uncovers some series secrets that her mother has kept hidden.

I rated this a 3 and it mostly because i think the author has an amazing story to tell but their was lot to unpack in this story. The first half of the book is very strong, the descriptions of the magic floating around, the family relationship, the love interest all well flushed out and strong. When we moved along in the story and more events started to happen their was less time spent on the details and it became more of a this is what happens and then this. I felt that the story would of been stronger if book one was shorter and more developed and some of the events should been carried over to the next book.

I am interested in seeing what happens with the ending we were given but i probably have to re read the last few chapters to really get what happened and where we are in the story by the time the next book comes out. It a very interesting story that is very involved and needed more developing.
