I want to start off by saying I really really enjoyed this book but I am but a humble critic and gotta let people know my thoughts. (The whole point of a review...)

It took about 75-100 pages to get fully invested in the plot and then I plowed through the rest of the story. By the end, it definitely felt like the lead up to a second novel - not quite a cliffhanger but definitely set up quite a bit of continuing plot.

This would've been a 5 star read but when you have a story that has prophecies as a plot device, it really forecasts the remainder of the story pretty loudly. It still had some solid twists but I felt like the pacing could have been a bit tighter towards the end. All-in-all, I'm excited for a sequel and

would like to see the last two prophecies play out (Rayan/Lettle and Afa)
