Oh. My. Goodness. 

This was amazing! I loved the first two books (Song of the Forever Rains and Dance of a Burning Sea) and this one DID NOT disappoint! 

Arabessa is the oldest daughter of the Thief King and leader of the Mousai and Zimri is the Collector, one of the kings closest confidants and collector of secrets. They already have a history together, having grown up together, and when that love is put to the test when something they both want is just within reach, what lengths are they willing to go to? 

I loved every moment of this book. The beautiful writing, the love Ara and Zimri have for each other, the loyalty to family and kingdom. The magic in this book is one of my favorite types of magic systems and I was so happy to be back in the world. 

This series has been one of the most refreshing series I’ve read, creating a new world for me to enter and new characters to fall in love with! This book was the perfect ending to the trilogy and it was everything I needed it to be! 

Arabessa and Zimri and perfect for each other. I love that they already and feelings for each other and that they weren’t willing to give their relationship up.
