From the first sentence I was captivated by the start of this book. The premise of this story is so interesting compared to other fantasy novels that I have read. Angels, elemental magic, royalty....this book is the start of another epic fantasy series! The author does an excellent job of character development and this book is action packed from the beginning. The part angel/human characters reminded me a little of the City of Bones series and also with a hint of Game of Thrones too. Fantasy usually isn’t one of my favorite genres, but this one pulled me right in and I couldn’t stop reading. There has been lots of hype surrounding this book and I will say I believe this book will live up to it!
