I was so excited for this book and it managed to surpass my expectations! As with Daughter of the moon goddess, I loved Sue Lynn Tan's lyrical and visual writing style. It painted such a gorgeous picture in my head and further expanded on the world in the previous duology and while holding its own as a great stand-alone. There was a brilliant mix of epic fantasy, adventure and romance which made me melt. I was giggling and kicking my feet in parts. It was a beautiful story focusing on themes showing all different types of love and strength. Some tense moments and twists that I didn't see coming. A perfect mix of everything.
