Review

Beautifully written. This book continues the story from Stolen Songbird, but it is it's own book with it's own focus. My favorite part of this book was the character development. Cecile and Tristan are separated and yet connected, creating a unique dynamic. I also enjoyed seeing Cecile's relationships with her family and friends. The plot had a mysterious feel to it that propelled the story forward. There were parts that dragged a bit, but overall the plot moved at a decent pace. The ending is powerful and hints at what is to come in the next book, leaving readers wanting more.
