Megan never disappoint with her fairytale retelling series and so far this was my favorite! 
 
Told in multiple POVs, epic world building and beautiful writing style manage to keep me interested from the beginning until the end. 
I love how music plays a big part in this story, not just some entertainment but also can be used as an instrument for healing process. 
 
The characters are very well developed with the addition of lovely secondary characters like Malik and Bronwyn. 
Ceridwen and Drystan slow burn romance is delightful to read, I can feel the tension between them throughout the story! 
 
Overall, this was a remarkable fairytale retelling that comes with a satisfying ending. 
A lovely tale about love, family, grief, healing and magic which would appeal fantasy romance lovers out there! I highly recommend picking this one up! 
 
I’m looking forward to read more books by this author in the future, especially the next book in this series! 
 
I received an advanced review copy for free from the author, and I am leaving this review voluntarily!
