The action was incredible. The martial arts — incredible. The character development was soooooo good and satisfying. This story had me captured and also ripped my heart open. I don’t think I’ve cried reading a book in a while. Overall incredible story. I do think towards the end of the book there was some unnecessary plot development that was probably meant to preface the Theonite series which is discontinued. That was my one gripe, but otherwise, loved this read.
