I was definitely interested throughout as the people struggle to find a new home and establish new kingdoms. It reminded me a bit of Noah&#8217;s struggles. Also I&#8217;m just going to warn you the ending is very sad. Good, but sad. It took me a couple days to get over it. XD In fact, I&#8217;m still not over it &#8230; This review has dug up my feelings, darn it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">The Characters: <span style=\"font-size: small;\">This book has a lot of point of view characters: Wilek, Trevn, Amala, Kal, Charlon, Gozan, Grayson, Qoatch,and Hinck, so there is a wide variety of perspectives and each of the point of views is distinct and ties in with the others which can be very difficult with so many characters. Trevn, Wilek, and Kal are favorites, though it was really interesting to see the point of view of a demon with Gozen. Jill does well in making sure the reader can remember everyone. It was a bit overwhelming in the first book, but by this time I&#8217;m used to it. I really like all of the characters&#8217; dynamics and interactions. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">The Setting: <span style=\"font-size: small;\">Most of the book is actually set at sea, which makes for a very different environment. There was a lot of conflict with food, water, and supplies running out and even conflict on the direction they should go as ordained by different religions. I loved all of the details with the sailing. When they eventually found land, it was an environment none of the characters were used to with giants and people of a different skin color, which created more conflict. It was interesting seeing white people be called exotic among black people. An interesting reverse in perspective. It shows that the word &#8220;exotic&#8221; is in the eyes of the beholder. I also liked how magic worked differently in this new country&#8211;which also in turn added conflict. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">Epic Things: <span style=\"font-size: small;\">In this book we get to see the origin of the Hadar family&#8217;s telepathy, which was super cool.
