By Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti
I absolutely love this book. It was so nice to see what Darius was doing. Many of the Vega’s loved ones also helped them in life. We got to meet Hail and Marissa and Radcliff. Lionel had sent so many of the souls to the Eternal Palace. These people were all looking eagerly to thwart Lionel and his plans. The next time I reread this series, I want to read this book along with Sorrow and Starlight. In Sorrow and Starlight we got to see the influence that the souls were influencing. This book showed us how much effort and love was put into those influences.
Peckham and Valenti created an afterlife in this world that is something I am wholly interested in. The idea that you can watch on and visit the living when they are grieving you. It was heartbreaking for the souls of the dead to see their loved ones grieve. I think it added so much to this story and it made more sense for Darius’s return. This book was so insightful and I 100% recommend reading this alongside Sorrow and Starlight.
