Synopsis: This is the tragic, beautiful tale of a girl without a soul. I am that girl and this is my story. Let’s start at the beginning . . .
I took a deep breath. “Light of virtue . . .” When I started the song again, I felt something spark between our hands. Energy? Then the spark grew into a surge that traveled into my body, fueling me with power. I could feel him; his warmth. That same warmth that had touched me those other times now pulsed through my veins. It was . . . incredible; like everything I’d ever craved, but intensified. I wanted more.

I thought, as I do for all of Brindi’s works, that the world building and setting were completely unique and fantastical. The characters were well developed and the writing was well done as well. For the most part, the book is really well done and quite enjoyable.

However, I do feel that the pacing was really slow and I didn’t really feel connected to the characters at all. I also feel that the book relies a bit too much on romance and I’d rather enjoy it more if the book took a different approach to the plot.

Verdict: An enjoyable book as always.
