This novella was my introduction to the Weather Court Gem Series. I couldn't quite work out whether it was aimed at young adults or adults and I think it could be both if it weren't for the explicit sex scenes. 
It was a story full of heart (excuse the pun!) and the character development was beautiful. I found it to be a mix of The Hunger Games and Fourth Wing with people being chosen by the villagers to protect their villages at all costs and based in an old stone school for months with a dire outcome if they failed.
This was my first read of this author and I am quite delighted in the beautiful writing flow and descriptions of characters. I found strong relationships, tragic pasts, friendships based on care and love and a romance at the heart of the book.
I'd like to thank Luna Literary Management, and K. C. Silver for my introduction to the series and the opportunity to read this ARC
