Shannon’s Thoughts:
The world of Renthia is full of magic, controlled by the Queen. The Queen must maintain the balance of the spirits that want to kill the people of Renthia. A new queen has been trained and picked. A young woman named Daleina has powers, but they are not as strong as others, yet somehow, she is in the running to be Queen.
This fantasy world is dark, and something in it reminds me of the Mercedes Lackey Valdemar series. It would be considered high fantasy. Even though there is darkness, the female characters and their different magic powers remind me of the Disney Fairy books. This book is not for kids—young adults, maybe, but not for children.
I don’t know if I will continue with the series. I enjoyed it, but I have so much to read. And I know that
Sarah Beth Durst has other books I am very interested in,
Any fan of Mercedes Lackey will enjoy it. I have not read much high fantasy, so I cannot think of anything like it, but there is a sweet darkness and hope throughout.
