Tana is part of a coven of witches that weakens their magic on purpose to avoid persecution. To finalize the coexistence of witches and ordinary people, she is to marry the governor's son. She is at peace with her sacrifice, content with the path laid out for her. However, her world takes an unexpected turn when a fatal mistake, a twist of fate, reveals to her an alternate life—one brimming with powerful magic and the freedom to make her own choices.
I expected a book with an arranged marriage and forbidden love to be full of YA drama, but instead, I got a simple yet enchanting story. The story is one of a dilemma between sacrificing your happiness for the sake of your people or allowing yourself to be selfish when it comes to your own future. I liked that Tana wasn't someone who was initially rebelling on the idea and tried to escape it, but rather tried to find the best in the situation. Neither is her future husband made into a villain.
The story wasn't a complex one. We don't even get many characters involved. It focused on what was important and any secondary information was omitted. Like we have an island and then what seems to be one city and that's it. But we don't really need to know what more is out there.
The focus of the book, therefore, is on the characters and their relationships as well as on the magic and its connection to nature.
I can recommend this book to anyone who wants something simple and sweet.… (altro)
