The Brilliant Death is a brilliant fantasy novel, featuring a strong cast of characters, a beautiful and evocative setting and an engrossing plot with mystery, action and romance. It far exceeded my expectations and is sure to be popular among fantasy readers.

Shape-shifting magic, a treacherous plot, religion vs. magic, gender-bending characters falling in love, and keeping secrets in a nest of snakes? It's a lot, but Capetta weaves it into a fantastic epic fantasy. I can't wait until the sequel to return to this amazing and magical world!

The plot is full of twists and gives readers a lot to think about and worry about as the book winds to the ending. It also has a wonderful romance that develops between the two characters as they navigate the dangerous waters of the Capo's estate. The only people they can trust are each other...but can they trust each other? By the end of the story I was fully invested in Teo and Cielo's story and I was fully satisfied by the decisions the characters made in the end.
