I absolutely loved this novel! I loved the first two in the series, Maelyn and Coralina, but this one is my favorite thus far. The story was original, with surprises and twists that I did not anticipate. The writing was beautifully descriptive. Heidel was spunky, strong, and beautiful; if she was real, I would definitely want to be her friend. Heidel's and Eravis' relationship was entertaining, and often frustrating, which made it realistic and kept me going back to read on in order to find out what would happen next between them. I don't want to give anything away, but I was completely happy and satisfied with the ending; however, I do look forward to learning what happens with many of the unanswered questions and loose ends from all three of the first novels. I loved learning more about the princesses, those whose stories we know already that are still unfolding with the continuation of each novel, and those we are waiting to learn. There were a few errors here and there, but I was so engrossed in the story that they didn't bother me. Anita Valle is an amazing author who should be more popular.
