Zahira is a young woman of the conquered Rua people, their country occupied by another, very different culture - the Sedorne. Zahira is an orphan and has been raised to despise and distrust the occupying population, as well as to be a devout follower of the native religion.

I'm normally a fan of Zoe Marriott, but I have to say I preferred "The Swan Kingdom" over this.I found it lacked a bit of substance in some areas. The plot had a few interesting twists but in the midst of all that we lost sight of a few plot elements that just got lost and only showed up again at the very very end.I feel Zahira and Sorin's relationship was a little flat, and we could have learned more about Zahira herself. Abheron was a little disappointing as villains go, but not all bad. YouI really wanted to like this book, the plot was enjoyable, pretty standard but the king surprised me throughput - but it was just so rushed. It bounced from plot point to plot point quickly, but was written in a fluid, super easy to read way - I finished it in a day quite happily. It suffered from something that annoys me often in YA - their ages. With her being 16, 15 at the start, I would have liked to have known his - just saying. I almost stopped reading when the pick up line happened as I
I originally rated this book three stars, because of the last sixty pages, but I ended up lowering it. Because although those last sixty pages were pretty good, the first 280 were not.I'm going to talk about those last sixty pages first.

Bleh.First of all, the characters had no personality. Like, none.Second of
http://thedailyprophecy.blogspot.nl/2...My first experience with Zoë Marriott was her lovely retelling The swan kingdom. From that moment I knew I had to read more from her and the sweet Kristen gave this copy to me. Thanks to her Im now aware that I really like Marriotts stories and Im going to hunt down a copy from the companion novel called Frostfire. You can download the first chapter for free if you like to try it out: Zoë Marriott.The world-building and concept of this book are pretty
This was a good book. I liked Zoe Marriott's version of the Swan Kingdom better, but in general, this book talks about coming of age and the power of friends and family.
This book is not a literary masterpiece or anything, but it is awesomely fun and I enjoyed it emensely! A lot of action, un anticipated plot twists, and good ending.
