Big thank you to Taylah for the ARC, I am beyond grateful to get my hands on this before release! Thank you, thank you!! 🫶🩵
I finished this book and kept clicking my Kindle to turn the page… what do you mean that was the end? I’m not ready for it to be over. I want to stay. I want to keep flipping pages.
I absolutely loved the writing style, it's immersive, rich, and beautifully paced. Not once did I feel overloaded with information.
The world and lore are introduced seamlessly through the characters, making it easy to sink in and stay there. It flows and leaves you wanting more. You can tell so much love and time has gone into this book. And so much happens that I’m left wondering how Taylah managed to deliver it all in 416 pages!
The magic felt unique and fresh. It had similarities to magic and creatures we already know and love, while still adding it's own flare of originality. I loved seeing each being’s powers and capabilities and I still feel we’ve barely scratched the surface.
The lore and the very fabric of these worlds have so much depth; laws, clans, High Immortals, Immortals, Mortals, mythical creatures, and glimpses of culture. There’s rebellion and there’s order, but no clear path of right or wrong.
We follow three siblings who have been outcast by actions not of their own doing. While one sister longs for nothing but to belong, the other two siblings have carved something for themselves from the hand they’ve been dealt, the brother choosing to take what they want for love, the other sister putting everyone else first until she decides to act on her own ambitions.
I felt so drawn to Estelle from the beginning. She’s raw, she cares deeply for her siblings and for many others, and that shines through in her relationships.
Gabriella’s journey, as her long awaited dreams meet reality and start to unravel leading her to step into what shes meant for.
And Flora. FLOOORAAA! Oh my god, don’t. She was perfect. I liked her immediately. She’s a little ray of sunshine in a sea of storms.
This book gave me moments where I was grinning ear to ear, moments I gasped, and moments of I had tears streaming down my face and I couldn’t stop reading.
The ENDING?? 🫣 I can’t. What do you mean it’s over already? I need book two NOW. 🌊🌊
From the moment TSOTS first popped up on my FYP, I knew I had to read it. I’m beyond grateful to be one of the first to experience the start of what feels like an epic fantasy series. I’m honoured to be part of the journey and I absolutely cannot wait for more. 🫶🩵
