Goodreads synopsis

Review:

Myth: 4/5

Sylah and Anoor have gone on separate journeys, Hassa, always has her own missions, though she still finds herself in the Warden’s Tower. I was intrigued with Sylah’s exploration of the new continent. Anoor, gets a detective side, but I have to say, she’s really bad at it, which is kind of hard to watch.

A new perspective is woven in, giving more depth and breadth to the continents and empires being built.

Magic: 4/5

It was definitely interesting to see the magic of other continents and the impacts of the use. This was interwoven both through Anoor’s research and Sylah’s exploration, so you get information on both sides.

Overall: 4/5

Nations move to war, natural disasters rage and Sylah, Anoor and Hassa try and find ways to fight for what they believe in.
