I enjoy reading young adult novels even if I'm older than the perfect reader, so I was very happy when I received a complimentary copy in exchange for my review. I must admit that after a great introduction where you could get an introduction to the setting and the main character, the first chapters were a little bit difficult to read because of the language and slow events but the characters are well described and after the awkward scene of love of first sight, the novel really starts engaging the reader.The author did a great job in creating a young, strong and likable character as Thera who starts a personal journey and discovers her real powers to fight evil and lethal enemies.One of the elements I really loved was how the nature is linked to the characters: the force, the forest talking to Thera and trying to help and warn, the animal spirits... I think it was a great way to make readers thinking about our impact to the Earth and what can we do to improve the world around us.I also loved the relationship between the characters,and I always appreciate when in a Y/A novel young girls have the power to change and fight instead of just being in love or saved by their true love.I hope the sequel will be published soon to read more about Thera and the Elanraigh world as the ending arrived when I was totally enjoying the story.I'd recommend this book to everyone who loves a well written novel about magic, love, adventure and nature.
