Shadow's Light
In this beautiful and dangerous world, the Siphthan, Arvai, Harpies, and humans live in peace until the king of the Siphthan destroys the Arvai city of Skalin. Aramay and Hayden barely escape the slaughter. Aramay just wants to get her friend to safety – and ignore her own unsettling dreams and growing, inexplicable powers. As they journey, the two become involved in a Siphthan rebellion and gain unexpected allies. When Aramay meets the Durani, the elements in physical form, myth blurs into reality. The Durani have great power but nothing, they say, compared to Aramay herself. She is the immortal Darnae, powerful beyond anything she can comprehend – powerful enough to harm those she loves the most. Filled with magic and danger, dark fears and fragile hope, Shadow’s Light is a rich fantasy that delves into the often-nonlinear process of self-acceptance.

"I think of the universe as a tapestry [..] Sometimes, in truly special moments, we become aware of that interconnectedness and we can find ourselves within the heartbeat of the universe. That's when we ache because we cannot contain the wonder of it all. "
"You will never be less because of the times when your emotions take over".
Two of my favorite quotes that I think perfectly summarize the journey of Aramay and the essence of Shadow's Light. It's a slow burning fantasy story that tries to stay away from politics and dozens of characters that need a Glossary at the back of the book, which I truly loved, focusing of character building instead (I do love myself a slow burning fantasy book, so this is straight up my alley.)
It's most of all a story of self-love and fully accepting your nature, embracing it, flaws and all. It has plenty of elemental magic and magical creatures to keep all your fantasy needs met, majestic scenery and truly great characters. I do have an issue with the way a relationship ended, because I never fully understood why, but I think that was the point. Neither did them :).
