A very exciting and interesting first book of a YA fantasy series

The story is already exciting and interesting from the very beginning. It invites you to continue reading.

It’s written in a way that’s easy to understand but also in a beautiful flowy writing style. The way everything was written made me see everything before me and sometimes even made me feel as if I was there with the characters.

There are quite some parts in this book where a character tells a story about something that happened in their past. I understand why this is done and I did enjoy this a lot, it just works really well in this book. These parts were written beautifully but were very detailed. Which also fits and makes the experience what it is. But I did find myself questioning how these characters could remember and tell these memories from so long ago in such detail. Often from when they were very young.

All the characters are very well developed. I always knew who was who. There was even a noticable difference in the way the characters talked. I thought this was very well done.

There are SO many different kinds of creatures that live in Rhodinya. Most of the time I could tell them apart well because they are all very different from each other. I also found it very interesting to learn more about these creatures. As more and more of them were introduced throughout the story it did get a lot to remember them all.

I really enjoyed this story. I really want to keep reading, I’m so curious and excited to read the rest of this series!

The book has wonderful illustrations in every chapter and a beautiful map that was interesting to look at while reading.
