Summary from Amazon (not an affiliate)
Ever since being kidnapped from the Illiais Jungle as a child, Yelena
Zaltana's life has been fraught with peril. But the recent loss of her
Soulfinding abilities has endangered her more than ever before. As she
desperately searches for a way to reclaim her magic, her enemies are
closing in, and neither Ixia nor Sitia are safe for her anymore.
Nayu's thoughts
Still
far too many non Yelena chapters like the previous book (read but not reviewed), but oh boy the story blew my mind,
despite guessing a major plot arc from the start... Mwahahaa! You
are in for a treat as Yelena's adventures continue. Maria manages to
keep raising the stakes with each book, having me worried not just
about Yelena who is undeniably my favourite character but also some
side characters, who I only realised how much I liked them when great
peril befalls them. No I'm not saying who!
There are a couple of
breathing spaces in the book, but since most chapters had cliffhanger
endings I would stop in the middle of a chapter when I needed to do
something in real life. That plus I can only cope with tragedy in
small doses, meant it took a few days to read this, having lighter
novels to contrast Yelena's plight. I possibly prefer the earlier books only because they were pure Yelena, not using other point of views, but that's my personal preference. I am absolutely looking forward to the
next book!
