I really loved this book! It was nice to know what happens to Caitrin after Apollo’s Raven! There is more action, fantasy, and romance! I recommend this for fans of Amanda Dillion, Marissa Campbell, and Signe Pike!

I had a hard time rating this book. Parts of it I disliked, and at other times I was really drawn into the story.

Catrin was the only truly consistent character of all. She stayed true to her heart, even when she had doubts. She fought for what she believed in. I did not like Marcellus. He didn’t have a backbone. He kept going from one leader to another trying to make one more deal to try to placate everyone. He was easily manipulated. King Amren kept changing his mind and is only interested in his own power. None of these characters really had any redeeming qualities in my mind.

The plot was interesting, but somewhat convoluted and not always easy to follow. The visions and other mystical occurrences didn’t make it any easier. After a while it was almost impossible to know who or what can be trusted. Characters will make one decision that leads to betrayal, but then later follow very similar choices that lead to completely different outcomes.

I didn’t particularly like the writing style either. It seemed very abrupt at times and sort of disjointed.

I am curious as to what is going to happen to Catrin after this, but not sure if I really want to continue reading the series. I’ll have to think about it a bit.

Thank you to Netgalley for supplying me with a copy. It was definitely different from what I have read before.

I posted a review on Goodreads.
