“You have so many people to care for. I want to be the one who cares for you. I want to be the sweet voice in the dark that answers only to your call. I want to be your place of warmth and safety, your refuge and your home. I want to be the one you think of when every other thought is gone.“
“You are the thought,“ he said very low. His head was bent down; his eyes were closed. “You are that place. You are that voice.“
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved this book, I love the world that I got to inhabit for 5 books, I love Shinn‘s writing, and I‘m so sad this series is over!
If you enjoy sci-fi/fantasy & effortless world building, do yourself a favor. I will forever remember Samaria & the world Shinn masterfully created.
This book is 4th published but 1st chronologically, which was interesting, and I was not disappointed! Shinn‘s writing is so transportive. She doesn‘t write fast paced stories, but her settings & her characters just effortlessly draw you in. I do think this series is a little formulaic, so if you read them back to back, that could be frustrating. But reading them spread out like I‘ve done I feel like I‘ve really been able to enjoy them all.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved this one - definitely my favorite of the series so far! In the first two books, you followed two protagonists as their lives moved & connected & relationships were formed. In this one, there were three characters you followed, which was a nice change and also made things slightly more unpredictable & that much more satisfying when it all came together. I will never stop recommending Shinn‘s work!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️It is really hard for me to explain these books & the brilliance of Shinn‘s writing. It is not fast paced or filled with plot twists & cliffhangers. But it is perfectly subtle. Her world building is so easily done you don‘t even realize it‘s happening as you‘re reading. This book was a great addition to the series because you learn so much about where the people came from, how the angles came to be, etc. Can‘t wait to read more of Shinn‘s!
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 I love how Shinn writes. There isn‘t a fast, twisty turny plot to this one, but it was a still a page turner for me nonetheless. I was always happy to pick it back up & ignore my family on Black Friday 😉 Book 2 follows different characters, so while I‘m excited to read more of Shinn‘s work, I wish there was more of the characters from book 1, too.

Thanks for the tag @Dragon! 😄
Day 1 - John Jude Palencar is probably my favourite cover artist. I love his style, can't pick just one.
