Ellie and Gil have been friends forever but it is only when another of Ellie's friends shows interest in Gil that she realises her true feelings. Because of her behaviour though, Gil is engaged to Agatha, leaving Ellie bereft. But then their world changes, with Gil reappearing but wounded, Ellie's panne (father) killed, and the town they live in completely destroyed, together with everyone they know. They are pursued by Kromer, a mad king who wants Ellie.
This story is about growing into yourself, growing into powers, and growing into a relationship. None of that is easy and it all takes work. The focus is on Ellie and Gil for the most part but Kromer does have his role to play. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the ending but I was left with so many unanswered questions. What happened to their world? Do they ever make it back? Did Nola survive? Do they rebuild? How do they rebuild? In other words, I need more stories from this world!
A very different story with its own quirks and foibles, I have no hesitation in definitely recommending it and I really hope for more!
