I was drawn in first by the dynamic cover of bold colors, then by the fairytale theme , and magic .What the protagonist imagines comes to life: even as a small child she prevented a glass from shattering by changing it to a moth with translucent white wings. The author truly has captured traditional Italian familia and fans of The Godfather won't be disappointed! From the excerpt I cannot wait to read more of the elemental mage shapeshifter where Teo may truly have met her match. I cannot wait to read more from this author! Unique storytelling at its finest!
