A fantastic fantasy filled with magic and adventure
The type of fantasy read that will have you inhaling page after page.
Zahru is cautious and follows the rules but when given the chance to visit the palace and a night of festivities during the start of The Crossing she couldn’t resist. The Crossing is a treacherous race across the dessert that ends with a human sacrifice to determine which heir of the crown will be the next ruler. Zahru’s night of fun quickly turns into a nightmare when she is forced to become the human sacrifice and finds herself being pulled between three heirs and into a treacherous royal feud.
This book had an interesting magical world, a plot that moved along quickly and characters that you don’t know whether to love or hate. One character I was sure about was Zahru. She was kind, clever, and you continuously root for her to find a way out of this mess. I really enjoyed this story but I had expected a bit more danger with regard to the elements/creatures from the desert itself given the description of The Crossing in the book. Regardless, there was plenty of drama to keep you entertained and I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.
