I love reading books containing magic. This book has all the ingredients of a good fantasy. It is sad that it ends on a cliffhanger.

I totally agree with you. I also appreciate this fact.
What is the most special thing I did today- I was MYSELF. Happy and in love and unapologetically myself.

Fantasy,magic and myth, I love the review and I'm adding the book to my to read list, moreover women are given some kind of attention, that's good enough for me. The story seems interesting. Nice review

This book sounds good, but I'm not entirely convinced that it is a "must-read" for me.Typically, I really enjoy YA, but I've looked into this book before and it just doesn't "strike" me. Great review, though.

A book that whisks the reader away to an ancient realm of myth and magic? Count me in! I love the genre! Too bad it ends on a cliffhanger. I will still read it, though. Thank you for the review!

There is something that i find interesting about this fantasy novel after reading this review; female characters are strong and empowered but not at the expense of the male characters. It is therefore a good reading that captures the contemporary ethos of our society in a great way.

I love descriptive writing and stories that contain twists. Unfortunately, fantasy is not a genre I read but it does sound like a great story for those who enjoy this type of book. Nicely written review.

I love fantasy stories. With the way your review sells the story, I guess it is a great story. The girl power is the icing on the cake for me.

I like your detailed review. It looks like it's a delightful story that's not over run with unnecessary drama! And it also seems like it offers lots of surprises, especially at the end.

You did this book justice with your review. I enjoy reading fantasy, and am joyous that I went ahead and picked up my copy. This book seems like it will become a favorite. I am excited that yours had a sequel in it, and to know more is to come from the cliffhanger. Well done.

I don't like cliffhanger endings especially if I can't read the next book. But I still enjoy reading series. I think this one would also be enjoyable. Thanks for the great review!

I totally love your review. I love the fact that the characters are strong females. I can totally relate to that. Amazing review

Thanks for the review, it really gives a good idea of what the book is like. Fantasy is a sometimes genre for me, but I will keep this one in mind. You made it sounds quite good and I do like strong female characters, especially not at the expense of the male characters.
peace starts with a smile...
