I want to start off by saying that this was the first time I've ever conciously noted the prose of a book. The way the author used such flowery descriptive language was captivating.
Her voice was a lazy curl of smoke, a rich woman’s voice, beautiful and thoroughly obnoxious.
The emotional journey that the two FMC's go through is one that is of two-parts. Each individual has their own grief and trauma to go through by themselves and also together. A very central theme of this is tackling what it means to decide your own fate versus what's "decided" for you. I'm a very big fan of found family scenarios and a secondary enemies to lovers plotline.
Her Galath, Elayne’s Galath, finally knew love and family. He knew it with her only family: Hari, her brother of choice, the only person she’d let stay close; and Vina, her Vina.
Overall, this book was very sweet. I loved the way it was written. If you want a fantasy written in the UK featuring a diverse cast, I would highly recommend The Isle in the Sea.
