Kezi, a young girl in the land of Hyte, is promised by her father to be sacrificed to the god Admat in return for saving her father's life. Olus, a god of the winds, is sent to Admat to try to win a place among the immortals. Kezi and Olus, whose stories alternate, travel through the land of Hyte, where they face dangers, trials, and a choice between duty and love. Levine writes a fantasy about faith, free will, and what we owe to the gods.
It suits young adult readers who like fantasy romance with mythological elements, and fans of Levine's fairy-tale retellings who want a more serious tone.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
