I got this book to review through the Amazon Vine program. This was an absolutely amazing stand alone epic fantasy novel. I was impressed right away with how beautiful the writing was and how well it flowed. I found myself struggling to put this book down each night.

The world-building and characters in here are absolutely amazing. I loved Elanna and the amazing characters that surround her. It was intriguing to watch Elanna struggle with both returning to her homeland and her blossoming powers.

The story wraps up beautifully as well. I was very impressed by how well this worked as a stand alone book and how much story was in here. In fact I think this is the best book I have read so far this year!

My only issue with this book was that throughout the whole thing I kept hoping it was the start to a new series. I want to read so much more about these characters and their world.

Overall this was a fantastic epic fantasy novel. The writing is absolutely beautiful, the world-building is impressive, and the characters are amazing. This is hands down the best book I have read so far this year. I would recommend to fantasy fans!
