Excellent review, gali! Not only did you give me something to consider reading with the colorful description of the story, but also something to strive for in my own future reviews! Very well done! :)

This looks really good! It kinda reminds me of "Fated" by Alyson Noël, but this one sounds like it is better executed. Also it makes me happy that the love triangle isn't too bad. Will have to add this one to list. Great review.

Thank you. I didn't read "Fated", so can't compare. :)

OK, I'm sold. Your enthusiasm with regard to this book is genuine, I'm sure, and I think based upon past experience that our tastes are quite similar. I'm not normally a reader of sci-fi but this sounds like a winner. I have just put it on my TBR list.

Thank you for an excellent (as always) evaluation.

Thank you for your kind words. This is more of a fantasy than sci-fi and intended for YA, and I enjoyed it immensely. and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. :)

Amazing review! Although I'm not a massive fan of sci-fi, it seems like this book has fantasy and magic in it, which I love. I look forward to reading the book

I love it when I read something that I think I can predict, and then something totally unexpected happens. This book sounds like it has a lot of that. Great review, gali!
