This (along with Spin the Dawn) will be on the very top of my favorite list for a really long time.
Elizabeth Lim's writing is so engaging and absolutely stunning. Her world building is beautiful. I just loved this world and the magic system so much.
The characters. Maia is going to be one of those characters that will stick with me for a really long time. I loved her journey, her strength, her determination, and her flaws. And Edan, screw book boyfriends, I'm making him my book husband.
The side characters. They all felt so fleshed out, especially Ammi and Sarnai (listen I love that girl with all my heart.)
And the relationships. I love the friendship between Maia and Ammi so much, and whatever weird friendship situation is going on with Maia and Sarnai. FEMALE FRIENDSHIPS, MAN. The family dynamic, I loved that we got way more of Maia and her family, cause they mean the world to me.
I can't end this post without mentioning my love for Maia and Edan. Their relationship. It's been a hot minute since a couple in a book gave me so many feels. I loved their chemistry, I love their journey. I LOVE EVERYTHING about them.
