With an engaging plot driven by a spiritually empowering message, Spirit of the King by Amy Hay was a short but impressive read that held my attention until the end. Amy Hay’s depiction of the complex father-daughter dynamic between the spiritual entities and Aria was at once intriguing and heart-wrenching. I adored the rich descriptions laced throughout the work, which were just long enough to provide a clear picture for me to envision but not so long that they distracted me from the events taking place. The pacing was superb with an excellent balance of world building and action. Reading Spirit of the King by Amy Hay was an amazing experience that I didn’t want to end, and I can’t recommend this powerful work of fantasy enough!
