![]() ![]() She took action, even if things didn't work out exactly as planned, at least she did SOMETHING. Elanna had understandable doubts throughout, but she was never overly wishy-washy. ![]() I thought it was a well-written debut fantasy, with an interesting world/mythology. Because my library has the 2nd book, I am going to give the author the benefit of the doubt and hope book 2 does not disappoint. ![]() ![]() How Bates expanded and grew her characters and the world, well it just could have been better. This was Bates debut novel-the premise of the story was wonderful. As the years past Elanna begins to experience episodes, which can only be attributed to magic and she cannot understand how she could come to have this power. Although her parents try to guard and protect her from afar, Elanna becomes a victim of Stockholm Syndrome and loses her true identity. When Elanna's father is uncovered as a a rebel the King takes Elanna hostage and raises her in his court. The kingdom is divided between those who hold the magic of the earth, and those who hunt the witches. I so wanted this to be at least a 4 star read-but *heavy sigh* it falls a little short.Īt five years old Lady Elanna is caught up in the political turmoil between her father and his enemy the King of Eren. ![]()
