◦ I've received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ◦
The story picks right where the second one ended. We begin with Fia who is still in captivity due to Erebus. She’s trapped with her worst two enemies – Erebus and Lorn and no one seems to be up to anything good. While she tries to find a way to escape, all she’s left with is a hope that the magical device build by Okwata still sends her messages to Alexander and everyone else around Ohinyan.
This time the story contains multiple pov’s from Fia’s side, Alexander and Lorn, and I found it really interesting the differences between the 3 of them, each one of them having different plans – Fia and Alexander to save the Ohinyan and Lorn to see everyone bowing to her after she rekindles the sun. We’re also learning together with Alexander about his new magical powers that not long ago awakened, its interesting to see how powerful he actually can be and what type of power he has.
At the beginning the book does have a slower pace because not many things are happening, since Fia and Lorn are trapped by Erebus, but the pace picks up after a couple of chapters and things start to roll on a faster pace especially after Lorn and Fia escape and together with Evina they’re on their way to the gate, but all around them danger is lurking and they don’t know who to actually trust.
Lorn is one of the most despicable characters in this book, and she for sure didn’t gain my sympathy. Till the end she didn’t showed mercy or any good feelings – seeing the pov from her side you get to know how evil she is and how heartless. Yes of course there’s past trauma on why she’s so messed up, but compared to Erebus she doesn’t want to be redeemed from her mistakes and to become a better person, but till the end she remains bitter and all she wants is destruction. What I liked about Lorn was, that she was a good teacher on teaching Fia how to access her magic, even tho the way she did it also was very questionable, because she used the worst methods, but that triggered Fia and we actually get to see how strong she is which makes Lorn question herself if she indeed is the Fire Mother.
I really wanted to see a pov from Erebus side, he really impressed me towards the end. Even if he was so despicable and did many questionable things, toward the end he redeemed himself and I was really impressed on his choices and how he had such a weak spot for Fia and always protected her – even tho he did kidnapped her and somehow tried to kiss her, but in the same time you get to understand him how affected he has been during this years and how lost he is – but with Fia’s help slowly he changes and his final decision was actually really beautiful.
Fia on the other hand has grown so much during the third book, if at the beginning she had a copping mechanism where she was counting her breaths this time she shows us how stronger she is and how much she improved. She became such a warrior and while still feels the need to count her breaths and hide into a corner, she doesn’t let the dark thoughts overcome her but fights against them. And what I loved the most is that she always put Lorn on her place in a blink of an eye without being scared that she might get hurt.
Another topic that the book touches is the LGBT there are many differences in the characters sexuality, for example Lorn doesn’t care if someone’s a male or female as long as there’s pleasure involved (lol). There are different characters who have relationships with the opposite sex which I found them really beautiful – one of the relationships that I’ve loved the most was the one between Maab and Ene, two male shapeshifters, their love was always portrayed so innocent, so pure and so loving.
As the other two books, the story doesn’t concentrates a lot on the romantic side of things but a lot on the fantasy, world building and the events in between. But you still get those tiny perfect romantic moments that are just at the right time. I’m sad to see the world of Ohinyan ending but this has been an incredible ride from the beginning to an end.
