20yo Isla struggles with leaving Oro behind but knows it's best for the sake of Lightlark. She’s still angry with Grim for erasing her memories, but odd and destructive incidents help them work together to save the realms. Isla discovers a feather that writes on its own, leading her to learn about skyres, items that hold soul pieces. Zealots are disguised and Isla begins trusting them. She also starts to think that she’s the person causing destruction. Is Isla the traitor?
I like the mystery surrounding the unknown traitor who is wreaking havoc. I don’t really feel that Isla loves Oro as she loves Grim, who seems to be her soulmate. I enjoyed the author’s world building.
Isla has tanned skin, Oro is golden.Others have light brown skin and white skin.
