Echo of Wings

Hey, everyone! 📖💖 I just devoured *Echo of Wings*, and I can't wait to share my thoughts! This gripping fantasy follows 18-year-old Lillian, who is facing the grim reality of her own mortality but refuses to let that define her. Instead of succumbing to despair, she fights for her legacy, wanting to join her father's rebel group and make an impact before it's too late.

After a heartbreaking tragedy, Lillian takes matters into her own hands and sets out for revenge against the King of Orios. Her decision to enter the perilous King’s Guard Trials, despite Eli’s objections, adds layers of tension and excitement. The trials are brutal, filled with dark magic and mythical creatures—seriously, the world-building here is fantastic! 🐉

What really struck me was Lillian’s growth. She starts off sheltered but evolves into a fierce warrior, facing not just external threats but also the betrayal lurking among her fellow contestants. The friendships she forms with the ever-optimistic Finn and fellow rebel Astrid are heartwarming, bringing a lightness to the dark journey she’s on. And oh, the tension with her mysterious commander? Talk about complicated!

As she navigates the trials, whispers of the Valkyries and the return of dragons keep the stakes high and the plot twisting. I found myself questioning everything alongside Lillian—who can she trust when secrets seem to be everywhere?

Sophia St Germain crafts a beautifully complex narrative filled with action, intrigue, and emotional depth. If you're a fan of strong heroines, magical worlds, and unexpected twists, *Echo of Wings* should be next on your reading list! 🐲✨
