New world, new wonders! I previously read the Valdir Chronicles and fell in love with RA’s works. This book didn’t make me feel any different. The world we got to see was terrifying, but vast and beautiful. I loved Regan. His semi mysterious air and somewhat cavalier attitude makes smuggler a perfect fit for him. Brianna and Brayden were an interesting pair. I liked their fierce loyalty to one another despite not growing up together. Brayden’s got the most potential to grow out of the two of them. With his vices and attitude, he’s still very much a victim or a child, depending on the situation he faces. Brianna simply lacks confidence right now, but I hope she will grow into herself. I already despise the prince and mistrust King Callan. I can’t quite bring myself to believe that the King cannot see what his brother is up to. But it is altogether possible. The rest of the characters were either very quiet or didn’t have a lengthy presence. I do like Kalyani, despite not knowing a lot of her. I look forward to learning more about Zillah. Her brief introduction towards the end of this book lead me to believe she is possibly very much different from her brethren. I do so look forward to the next book.
