–!SPOILERS!-
The book starts with a bang as we watch Aya use her Persi affinity to persuade information from a barkeep. She then starts a fight and unleashes pandemonium as a huge brawl begins, giving Aya a chance to slip out and catch the tradesmen she just heard about.
She follows a man who turns out to be Will, the Queen’s Enforcer. Apparently these two hate each other but do I smell enemies to lovers?
They return to the Quarter and Aya has a nightmare about Will lying at the bottom of a wall with his arm broken. Oh wait, it’s a memory! Aya persuaded Will to jump and she’s never forgiven him for his consequently attempting to get her thrown out of the Dyminara.
Aya and Tova, the Queen’s General, discuss preparations for the Dawning: a festival to celebrate Saint Evie, whose sacrifice hundreds of years ago called in the gods to abolish the Decachiré who were trying to usurp the gods by making their Visya power limitless.
We switch to Will’s perspective and find that he has been up all night interrogating the Trahir tradesmen using his Sensainos affinity. The Tría meet with Queen Gianna to discuss and Will reveals that the tradesmen were buying weapons for Kakos – the lower third of their continent that had been ostracised as they were said to be searching for a way to attain raw power. They decide not to act rashly and accuse Trahir of being in on it as they do not want to spark a war.
Later, Aya trains with her bonded, Tyr, until she dislocates her shoulder and has to go get healed. Ick.
She takes Tyr back to the barn and finds Will there with his bonded, Akita. Will confesses that he can feel the pain in Aya’s shoulder and the pain of the tradesmen from the interrogation. He can’t shield properly. That can’t be good.
The next day Aya, Tova and Will help train young Visya. Aya and Will demonstrate and Will manages to find a gap in Aya’s shield to prove he can make her feel something positive. Aya’s shield is usually untouchable but there’s something about Will…
At the Dawning ceremony, we are reminded that the gods will not spare humans again if they have to return. However, the Conoscenza says there would be one last failsafe, “for a second of her kind will rise, born anew to right the greatest wrong.” Ooh, who could this be?
Aya and Will catch up on recent developments while they dance but they are interrupted by screams – the Athatis have come down to hunt. Aya tries to lead them away but Will stops her and they both end up running. Smooth, guys.
Aya blacks out as Brien has her pinned on the ground. The last thing she sees is Will feeling her pain and screaming her name. But wait! Just before she blacked out, it seemed like Aya managed to persuade the wolves to come to her. But that’s impossible, right?
It turns out that someone intentionally blasted a hole in the wall of the compound and sent the wolves off to hunt. Who would do such a thing?
Aya tells Tova that she thinks she persuaded the wolves to follow her. Tova advises her not to tell anyone else as it could be mistaken for dark affinity work.
Later, Aya visits Tyre, despite orders to rest, and tells him it’s not his fault. She vows to make whoever did this pay.
Wow, that first section certainly peaked my interest. I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
What are your initial feelings on the book and its characters so far?
Who do you think is the Second Saint they speak of?
Do you think Will is as bad as Aya thinks?
I can’t wait to hear all your thoughts!

Overall, I found the book to be unoriginal and poorly executed."
2. Mark - 2/5 stars - "I had high expectations for Kate Dramis Curse, but unfortunately, it fell short. The pacing was incredibly slow, and it took ages for anything interesting to happen. The plot seemed promising at first, but it quickly became convoluted and confusing. The author also seemed to rely too heavily on exposition, which made the book feel tedious to read. I struggled to stay engaged, and the lackluster ending only added to my disappointment."

The dialogue was stilted, making it difficult to feel any emotional connection to the story. Additionally, the pacing was inconsistent, with too much time dedicated to unnecessary scenes and not enough on the main plot. I was hoping for a captivating supernatural tale, but instead, I found myself bored and uninterested in the story."

The characters were one-dimensional, and their motivations were unclear. The plot felt disjointed, as if it were trying to be too many things at once. I was disappointed by the lack of depth and the missed opportunities for character growth. Overall, I found this book to be poorly executed and not worth my time."

The characters were flat and lacked any depth or complexity. The writing was uninspiring and filled with excessive descriptions that did nothing to enhance the plot. I couldn't find any redeeming qualities in this book and would not recommend it to anyone looking for an engaging read."
