I think giving this anything less than 5 stars would be unfair. This duology is haunting and beautiful, one of my all time favourites.
The character’s are charming but in a kooky, off key and out-of-left field way. Laini Taylor has such a way with building rich, imaginative worlds and magic systems, that although they are simple enough to immerse yourself into, it’s rare to see something of this calibre. Her style is unique and isn’t often duplicated or imitated.
My heart broke learning about Minya’s origin story and her burden from all angles and perspectives.
The story of the two sisters really caught me off guard, I appreciate how the fate of the girl left behind and the woman she grew to be was described in such an emotive and raw way, while still remaining true to the book’s YA tone. It was honest, without being too blunt.
I liked that in the end, everyone (including the unlikable chatacters) were able to play their part in bringing the saga to a close.
I read this as one of my Pisces season picks and this duology really encapsulates the characteristics well. Dreamy, emotional and full of magic.
