Caprion’s struggle is heartbreaking. The passion he puts into singing to find his wings is palpable, so is his determination. It is all met with failure and the hate and disapproval of those supposed to care and protect him: his family. Caught between a mother who blames herself, a big brother who hates and abuses him, and a younger sister and close friend who want to help him but lack the means, Caprion has to follow the monsters in his dreams to achieve his goals.Descending into darkness to find the evil blocking him from reaching his star, Caprion forges a friendship with a young girl of the Sixth Race, who he names Moss. Bound by a spell protected promise and a mutual desire to chase their dreams, Caprion and Moss will face the unknown together. In his quest, the young Harpy will discover the blurry lines, light not always meaning righteousness and kindness.The world building has kept me engaged, along with the fast pace of the story. The Harpies’ remote island and empty city, the dungeons where they keep their prisoners, they all come alive as you read through the pages, along with the rituals, the songs, and spells surrounding the world T.L. Shreffler creates.This was my first book by this author, but it has definitely hooked me. Stay tuned for the reviews of The Cat’s Eye Chronicles series
