As with Of Fire and Stars, it seemed like many actions happened in order to further the plot rather than because it made sense for that character. The villains seemed far too flatly evil and got to those points more quickly than I thought realistic. The development toward the ultimate conclusion was full of so many back-and-forths that I disengaged. However, I did enjoy the often beautiful writing, the magic elements, and Asra's struggles to find her place in the world and with the right people. (

I wasn't quite sure about this book when I started it, but I quickly warmed up to the story once it got going and I definitely enjoyed it. A pretty quick read, I appreciated seeing a bisexual main character whose sexuality wasn't really a big deal, rather her ability to use her blood to write the future was a big deal - this fantasy world has definitely got its priorities in the right order. And so the adventure begins. Asra leaves her home to try to right a wrong - one that included her girlfriend becoming a vengeful dragon - and quickly learns what she thought she knew about her own past was incorrect. So, Asra begins to seek out more about who she is and encounters plenty of obstacles (including a group rebelling against the king) and a charming demigod along the way. I haven't read anything else by this author, but I definitely think I'll read more, judging by how enjoyable this book was. (

I really enjoyed Of Fire and Stars, and was quite excited to read this companion novel in the wait for Of Ice and Shadows. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did, and I actually read in one day, something I very rarely do. Whenever I need to write a review for something I love, I can't help but be at a loss for words but...

Coulthurst's writing style just flows so wonderfully for me. It's very easy to slip into her words and forget you're reading, and become entranced into her story.

I love all the characters and their interactions. Aven though it would have been nice to get to know some of the side characters a little more, I think focusing on the main four was a good idea. (I wish Asra and Nismae could have had more interactions, however.)

I really didn't expect the story to pull at my heart at the beginning, and damn did it keep running with it. (
