First of all I received a free eARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. The Story is set in a world, where people are divided by their elemental talent, which reminded me a bit of Avatar. We follow two storylines. The present storyline tells about S'rae and 11 fellow students who have been chosen for a special mission, first attending the long emptied School of fire. During their lessons there they learn a lot about a Boy called Destrou - living in the past. There they learn more about the Godess Eve and what might have happened to her - but will they ever solve that mystery? The first book ends with a great battle, with treachery, emotions and a new quest to start. I liked the style of writing most of the time, especially the part that was taking place in the past. What I didn't like were styles of conversations because I don't feel the conversation could take place like this in reality. Nevertheless did I adore this book and I am thankful to have had the possibility to read it in advance. Additionally - there are great drawings included which give you hints about the power of the elements and where exactly you are at the moment. All in all, I would recommend this book for everyone who likes fantasy and a good backgroundstory!
