unexpected to me, I really loved it. In its simplicity, everything falls in the right place. This book is dual-POV told by the two main characters. Asia is a Nefas, a monster feeding on fear, while Silas is a herald, sort of messenger of the gods and he who carries the souls of the dead to their destination in the beyond. They ally together to help each other (Silas wants to get his memory back and Atia wants to get rid of curse inflicted on her by the gods) and discover mysteries of their condition as well. We have a map (hehe, I love maps) and we see that there is a mortal realm, which is divided into four kingdom, one for each of the four elements, and a divine realm, called Oksenia, divided in districts by rivers. In the mortal realm, also monsters live, like vampires and banshees, all subjected to the laws and punishments set by gods. I would usually dislike mixtures from different repertoires, but in case, I felt it worked pretty nicely. I also loved the side characters and in general the characters and the romance were very lovable. The weakest point of this books was its predicability. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the characters, the setting and the magic so much that I didn't mind it too much.
