My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! This is unlike anything else I’ve ever read. I enjoyed the Crown of Stones series and am thrilled that it’s continued on here. The imagination and thought that had to go into this must have been painstaking. Like the Hunger Games with magic but harder and more unpredictable. I enjoyed the conflict of two friends, joined in ways we can’t imagine, who still struggle to get through the every-day life. New freedoms bring new complications while regret follows them everywhere. The setting is intriguing and I love the combination of modern progressiveness while ancient still lingers, even if it isn’t seen. I am glad there is at least one more coming and look forward to seeing where the story goes from here!

I picked this up based on the description, though I am not someone who typically reads poetry. I believe in the effects that music can have on a creative mind and was intrigued by the author’s experience. I did enjoy several of the poems and liked that there were short essays or messages to the reader dispersed throughout. It gave the brain a break from the rhythm of the poetry. The author does a wonderful job of using vibrant language that helped me visualize the poem as I read it. I also enjoy the variations in background that go along with each piece – it accompanies the tone of the piece very well! I am glad I picked this up to try!
