Thanks to Macmillan for the free advance copy of this book.
- OF LIGHT AND SHADOW is one of the most action-packed and engrossing YA novels I've read in a long time. I immediately loved both Roshan and Navin as well as the world they inhabited, cheering them on as they fought for justice.
- You know I love a book with a headstrong girl at the center, and Roshan is one of the best. She's forging her own path, but also willing to learn from her mistakes in an effort to become a better leader.
- Along with some excellent character growth, this story is also full of twists, turns, and betrayals. I'm very much looking forward to reading more books by Bhathena in the future.
