My Ratings 4.4/5
Synopsis
Sprite Alya Lightstar lives in a wealthy sanction of Keldrock, an illustrious elven-ruled city where she has everything anyone could ever imagine. She lives on a large estate, has servants, and hasn’t had to do a hard day’s work in her entire life. It seems like a perfect life, where danger is but a thought as she and all she knows are hidden behind a magical veil that shields her home from the far, far unknowns of the rest of the world. Being that this is all she has ever known, she yearns for adventure and lands beyond. However, for she-elves, these aren’t options. While sprites her age dream of coming-of-age ceremonies and elegant balls, Alya dreams of the forest floor beneath her feet and the thrills of the wilds. It isn’t until after venturing beyond the city's limits with her friends that she considers the dangers that come with it, especially after a dreadful encounter one dark night.As Alya is drawn farther into the kept secrets that plague Keldrock and that challenge all she knows, Alya will have to prove she is the brave leader she craves to be to change Keldrock for the better while avoiding a pair of yellow eyes hot on her trail. She must race against time, preparing for an event that only the city’s defenses are trained to see, the Day of Unveiling, a short period when the city’s veil falls, leaving it vulnerable to the outside world. In time, and in more ways than one, all will be unveiled.
My Thoughts
The unveiled series by MC Ray, I must say
THIS SERIES GAVE ME SO MANY FEELINGS!! The characters are obviously all at separate points in the story, but eventually they cross paths in a myriad of intricate and interesting ways. This slow burn (initially) opens you up to the complexity of the world the characters live in. Like Sprite Alya Lightstar lives in a wealthy sanction of Keldrock, an illustrious elven-ruled city where she has everything anyone could ever imagine. She lives on a large estate, has servants, and hasn’t had to do a hard day’s work in her entire life. I really want to pick a favourite character so I can pinpoint something for you, but honestly I just love everyone. The side characters (if they can even be called that) are incredibly developed and I wanted to know about them just as much as the protagonists. EVERYTHING IS AMAZING.
I honestly just need everyone to read these because even though they’re above 300 pages, you get hooked on them, and I need fellow readers to ship characters, have outbursts, and fall in love with everything about these books like I have! These were my favourite books of 2021 and I am so happy I picked them up! The most unique aspect of this book is the world-building. The world is exotic, intriguing and it’s like nothing we are used to. The culture is different, the people are unique, and the creatures that inhabit it are like nothing I have ever read about.
Perhaps the highest compliment I can give the book is that I spent most of my Saturday reading it. I think I blazed through the last 200 pages in a day, and it’s been years since I read that much that fast. In fact, the last time I remember doing it was with Robert Jordan.
well let me tell you that I was so enchanted by the world that I couldn’t even put it down.
Highly Recommended!
