The book ends on a suspense, which is a good thing since readers will want to keep up with Maia's upcoming experiences. In the end, their connection grows gradually and realistically, and each feels that the sacrifices they make for the other are justified. Maia and Edan's developing romance follows a formulaic path in which she first misinterprets his restrained demeanor for emotional coldness and they frequently engage in contradictory communication. The main character Maia and the enchanter Edan fall in love and perhaps have a sexual encounter, though it's not clear. There isn't much cursing ("damn," "hell") used. Only when an adult drinks from a flask and becomes drunk is there substance usage. There are a few violent sequences, such as sword and dagger battles and fires, but nothing particularly graphic or upsetting.
