Do you want a high fantasy adventure without betrayals, cheating, or arguing? This series is for you.

I was pleasantly surprised that this book's style was almost identical to the first book! The writing, tropes, and pacing were the same. It truly felt like an extension of book 1. ❤️

It was less relaxing than the first book, with a lot more adventures, and I cried my eyes out multiple times, but there wasn't any angst either. A few times (at the beginning) it looks like there will be but then Shiori gets a brain and changes her mind haha THANK YOU.

I really enjoyed this last book! It had an interesting ending, and honestly I would love more books, following these characters. I love that family, magic and folktales are such a big part of this series.

I loved this book! Not a much as the first, but I still loved it nonetheless. I love that we got to learn more about Shiori's stepmother and her background. I already have Her Radiant Curse open on my kindle ready to be read. 

I think my favourite thing was the relationship  in this book. The romance between Shiori and Takkan was so beautiful- Such a breath of fresh air that there was no silly relationship drama between them! I wish we had more Seryu stuff, too. Romantic relations aside I love how all the characters interact with each other.
