Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 This book was great! While I struggled to get through the first few chapters, after that I was sucked into the story and raced through it. It took me on a wild ride and I wasn’t always able to predict where this story was going. I thought there was a decent amount of world-building and I really enjoyed the characters too! SPOILER-FREE SUMMARY After a ceremonial demonstration that would prove her as the next capable Animancer and heir to the throne her father now sits on goes awry, Princess Amora of Visidia must escape and team up with a pirate, a mermaid, and her fiancé-to-be on a mission meant to save her kingdom and restore her people’s faith in her as the heir. Sailing across the islands of her kingdom for the first time will show her many things and unfortunately uncover new problems. To prove her worth as the next ruler she must defeat the infamous Kaven of Kudoh, who controls this island that was banished from her kingdom years ago with an iron fist. Will she be able to accomplish her goals? Will this makeshift crew be enough to save Visidia from the wicked Kaven? I loved our main characters Amora, Bastian, Ferrick and Vataea and I thought they had great chemistry throughout the story as well as great character development as individuals. This story had a decent amount of darkness mixed in with the light, a balance of good versus bad. It was an epic journey, and while I predicted one or two things it still flowed nicely and I found myself obsessively turning the pages, thinking about it when I wasn’t reading. The ending was a little disappointing for me, but I still can’t wait to see what happens in the sequel! Read more

Je ne peux que vous conseiller cette lecture : c’est un Fantasy YA avec pirate, magie, sorcière et sirène. On a vraiment un bon cocktail pour passer un super moment. L’univers est super bien travaillé, avec différentes îles, représentant différentes magies. Heureusement qu’on a une légende en début de livre car je m’y suis un peu perdue, face à toutes ses magies différentes. Je me suis bien accrochée à tous les personnages. Et je dois dire que l’intrigue a pris une tournure auquel je m’attendais pas forcément. Et ça fais du bien de tomber sur une lecture qui me surprend. Peut être un petit bémol sur la fin qui ne finis pas en cliffhanger, bon je m’y suis peut être un peu trop habituée aussi. Mais j’ai bien l’intention de lire la suite cet été . Read more
