Rating: 3/ 5

When I picked up this book I still had mixed feelings, Of Fire and Stars has been

one of my favorite reads due to the fact I can relate to the equine references.

I was very surprised when I delved into the but in the end I liked it but not as

much as of Of Fire and Stars. Ina is desperate to find her manifest, an animal to

change into as passage to adulthood. Bandits threaten Ina’s village, Asra uses her

blood magic and their lives take a drastic turn. Ina turns very dark and Asra meets

another demigod, a son of the wind. Hal and Asra align themselves with the King.

Ina and Hal’s sister Nismae, seek revenge on the King. This story was intriguing

with the characters and the story, I recommend it if you haven't read Of Fire and

Stars, as that was what I was expecting, something similar but it tis not. Of course

you can read it after Of Fire and Stars but be prepared as it is completely different.
