Well this was one book I was extremely excited to receive from a book box subscription, and as expected it did not disappoint at all!

The story is about a Maji (or diviner) girl Zélie, her Kosidan brother Tzain, and the prince and princess of Odisha, Amara and Inan. All of these characters are young, vibrant and debutante writer Tomi Adeyemi presents them beautifully, taking you into the journey of their lives, and describes the contrasts and differences in their conditions in such realistic and emotional manner, that you get attached to each of them and she does not let you lose interest or connection with them throughout, even though it is quite a long story.

Coming to the plot, I won't get into the details because I'm afraid I might give away too much but the story-line is basically about a clan with great magical powers, which gets stripped off its magic and thus gets dominated and even enslaved by the normal or magic-less people who were earlier terrified of them. Zélie is a girl born with the magical powers of her mother and by help of the princess, she revitalizes her magic. Therefore, they set in a journey to free the magical people of Odisha while facing opposition from prince Inan who despises magic immensely. The forbidden romance between the leads though is kinda cliched, but yet is sizzling for sure. The plot keeps you engaged and for a debut fantasy novel, the writer has done a marvelous job.

I loved the novel greatly and can't wait to watch the film which is probably being made already.(I hope they do justice to the book!)
I would also recommend this book to the readers who aren't afraid of a lengthier read, as this deserves your time for sure!❤

(Books like these make long boring flights easier and even fun!)
