Galanta is a witch in hiding. Ever since her mother forfeited her own life for Galanta she must hide her true self from her stepfather and brothers. Her mother warned her that if anyone would find out about their spells and power they could risk imprisonment or worse torture followed by death.
Living a sheltered and dominated life Galanta dreams of escaping. Her dreams seem to be granted when one day she meets a sea creature that has stolen her heart, Echann. Their star-crossed love soon endures trials and tribulations that end with one or both dead. Can they overcome centuries apart or will vengeance and misunderstandings separate them from completing their prophecy?
Overall rating 3/5
Just finishing the first book in this series I was truly excited to delve into the love story of Echann and Galanta. I so badly wanted Galanta to become a powerful witch ready to avenge her lover. However, we were left with a docile and complacent woman. Then when Echann is brought back into the story I was so disgusted with the actions he inflicted upon the woman he supposedly loved. It was nothing short of domestic violence that was glorified. I was so let down by this aspect of the story that it changed my whole opinion of the book. Also how Galanta made this behavior “ok, or exceptable” made me want to reach into the story and save this poor woman who deserved so much better.
