SYNOPSIS
High above the sea, floats the pristine city of the Heliana. Home to winged-lion shapeshifters—the Leonodai—and protected from the world of humans by an elite group of warriors, the Heliana has only known peace.
After years of brutal training, seventeen-year-old Rowan is ready to prove her loyalty to the city and her people to become one of the Leonodai warriors. But before Rowan can take the oath, a deadly disease strikes the city’s children. Soon the warriors—including two of Rowan’s closest friends—are sent on a dangerous mission to find a fabled panacea deep within enemy lands.
Left behind, Rowan learns a devastating truth that could compromise the mission and the fate of the Heliana itself. She must make a decision: stay with the city and become a warrior like she always dreamed, or risk her future in an attempt to save everyone she loves. Whatever Rowan decides, she has to do it fast, because time is running out, and peace can only last so long...
REVIEW
⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 3 out of 5.
Okay this was a fun time. This is basically a fantasy standalone I believe which was appreciated since we dont get to see a lot of those.
However, it was not the best and there were a lot of aspects missing.
The characters for example, were underdeveloped and there was absolutely not personality growth in any of them
I also did not believe nor loved the romance, it felt hollow to me and super unreal. I also low key hated the love triangle, it was unnecessary and underdeveloped.
Also the plot and everything that happened like the plot twits were so familiar, the type where you know that you have read something like this before.
It was a three start from me and looking back on it, maybe its a bit too generous but oh well , I rated it in the moment and I guess the ending made me like it more.
Will it be memorable? No, Do I recommend it? Maybe yes, I do believe that there are many more fantasies out there but it wasn't terrible, I did had a fun time
