My fourth 5 star book of the year so far. It took me a good two weeks to read it because I got the massive paperback copy from the library and I also read Sunrise on The Reaping while reading this. I was hooked from the very beginning with the glossary. With the book being so chonky, I decided to read the terms and familiarize myself so I wouldn't have to flip back and forth.
Everything was easy to understand because while reading, I just made the terms normal and earth like. It was easy to understand the world because the shade was polar night in the arctic, the fade is the rainforest of the equator and the burn is the deserts.
We meet our main girl Rave who is an assassin when she is on a job. She is trying to get into this club where her target is currently and she is having problems getting in because the bouncer sees the clip on her ear where it signifies her as a null. A null is a person who doesn't hear the gods and doesn't have powers. She eventually gets in and while she is going up the stairs, she passes by a mysterious guy who immediately recgonizes her.
Raeve gets her job done and she is paranoid about the mysterious guy who kept her from being assaulted and completing her mission in the club. Raeve meets up with the leader of the assassin group that she is part of and the leader is a complete bitch but warns Raeve to stay out of view for a couple days so she is found by the bounty hunter who is currently looking for her.
Raeve is rooming with a girl she saved and Essi is her rock. She loves her deeply and one day something bad happens that makes Raeve throw all caution to the wind and ultimately get caught because she doesn't want to be in a world where there is no Essi. Raeve is also obsessed with a wonky dragon that is a moon in the sky. I also fell in love with this little wonky dragon. The mysterious guy named Kaan is also book boyfriend material and I feel that Raeve just shat all over him and didn't appreciate what he did for her.
We learn more about Raeve and her background and how she came to love the wonky dragon in the sky and why sometimes she has flashbacks to a time with Kaan and also losing her kingdom to Kaan's family and training with his sister Veya.
Like I said, I was hooked from the very beginning and the ending has me in a chokehold because I want to know what happened to Raeve and how she became Raeve. What's going to happen to a certain someone and is Kaan going to find out this information from Veya.
