Remarkable! Well, worth the wait!
Olina "Lina" is back in another gripping story. I read the first one "Fantasy of Frost" and was anticipating St. Clare's next story, and this was worth the wait. It's a fantastic story that's meant for young adults, but I found adults of any age that love a great story with remarkable characters and survival. Lina is still recovering from the loss of Kedrick, the first person she ever loved. In her previous story, her face was always veiled, and she was not allowed to ever see her own face or show it to others. The story continues with twists and turns, as she overcomes the past and tries to move forward. There is a line in the story that jumped out at me, and it rings so true, especially from someone who has suffered abuse, as Olina did. "Ashawn might have hurt me physically, but you've hurt me much more with your words." St. Clare indeed has a way with storytelling.
