The last time I read a Melissa de la Cruz book was back in high school (so it's been awhile), but her new book did not disappoint. Melissa de la Cruz delivers a fantastical story with unforgettable characters and a plot that keeps thickening.
I enjoyed the characters' backstories and seeing how each character came to be who they were in the present time of the story. When Shadow and Caledon interacted, it was like the story was coming to life; their interactions (and romance) brought a fun and enjoyable aspect to this story, and I'm excited to see what happens in the sequel.
If you're a fan of world building, then you will love the world created here! Melissa takes her time describing the world and the magic system. It was unique, and everything came together well with the plot.
I will admit, the first few chapters were slightly confusing, so it did take me a bit to get a grasp on the story and the characters (and for the story to really take off). But, overall, I was very pleased with Melissa's new book. If you're looking for a new YA fantasy book with two strong-minded characters and a beautiful storyline, then definitely check out this book!
