What will she choose to do?My Feelings on Reading this book:This book has it all – fantasy, mystery, romance, thrill and MAGIC! It has a completely unexpected story line, different from the many fantasy books I have read. I was surprised by the pace of the book – such a fast paced book still it is so calm and all set to make you fall in love with it. The book has an Asian / Oriental vibe to it. I loved tiny hints of romance which is so tastefully written. I loved how strong willed Maia was and how she never gave up on any situation whatsoever and fought with everything she had in her arsenal. She was a character - worthy of all the appreciation. The character arc of Edan was beautiful as well. The words are woven in such a subtle manner. I could not get enough of this book. The mystery and thrill is crafted fluently and I was just hooked to it till the very end. I was not feeling bore at all. I was connected to the characters in every way. I felt like the book should open a portal for me to dive in. It will always hold a space in my heart forever. It ends with a cliff hanger and I am so thankful that I have the other book ready on my shelves to dive in as soon as I can.Recommended to:- YA lovers.- People who want to explore the world of fantasy – you can definitely start with this.- People who wish to read about Magic, or witchy stuff or want some subtle thrillers.

"ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴍʏ ᴏᴀᴛʜ ɴᴏᴡ, ᴍᴀɪᴀ ᴛᴀᴍᴀʀɪɴ. ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ'ʟʟ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ʙᴇ ꜰʀᴇᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴍᴇ."Mulan meets Runway Project (Interesting isn't it?) that's the first thing that caught my eyes. I love this book. Another thing I love was the cover of the book and I love it (Isn't it beautiful?) one of the best book covers I've seen.The story revolves around Maia who is always worried about her family's well being and wanted to become an imperial tailor but couldn't because she's a girl. When she got the chance, she has to conceal her identity and enter the competition as her brother. I adore her. She's very passionate and fearless. There"s one thing I like about her is if she set her mind on something she'll complete it no matter what. Edan, from the beginning, I started liking him. If there's something which made Maia's journey interesting then, it is Edan. Just like Maia, he's also passionate. He knows what is his responsibilities towards his emperor. I the way he protects Maia from the difficulties they faced. The writing style, it's amazingly easy to understand and easy to read. I love the blend of eastern culture and fantasy. The ending of the book was a bit shocking. The book is very well written.

Read the book in a day!!! The story just fits and flows simultaneously.

I love the story line of the book , each of the character is awesome. The book came in perfect condition, no bumps , no scratch. Delivery was also on time. Go for it ♥️🔮

A must read book !!

I can't be more happy to get this product in such a beautiful condition without any sort of damage. Though the print is very slightly dim but that's ok. The encryption of the title is beautifully layered on the cover page. Thank you so much for making us to get such international books in easy peasy way .

What I Liked:✨A well imagined and equally well-executed plot that brings in a lot of adventure and a whole bunch of stories (especially myths and lore, which is all very unique).✨A handful of well-developed characters, each with their own political agenda (because part of this is palace court drama)✨A past and a present you can keep track of. The rivalry between kingdoms etc. With a few major events that can be easily remembered and followed.✨The protagonist-I loved how vulnerable and self-righteous she is. Her love for her family is immense and that helps her keep up her fighting spirit. She isn't scared to walk into dangerous territories, but she doesn't come back unharmed either (no super powers there)✨The love interest and Lord Enchanter is actually quite charming. Don't expect mysterious and broody but a whole lot of sarcasm and friendly banter.✨The cliffhanger in the end-I have no idea where the story is headed next and that is something I enjoyed. I loved how each chapter ended on a thrilling note and made me guess what happens next. It's fair to say, I was surprised by the plot twists that kept coming..What I disliked-✨The age difference between the two lead characters because there's a huge difference in maturity that is evident throughout the plot.✨Certain scenes were really cringy and it just didn't work out for me.

GO FOR IT. THAT'S ALL I'VE TO SAY.
