Helpful Score: 2
Excellent fantasy read with an action plot. The lead characters - Heyou [the battle sylph] and Solie [a farm girl] - meet up because she is kidnapped to be the virgin sacrifice to 'catch' a battler sylph. She defends herself from the Crown Prince's attempt to kill her giving the battle sylph time to come through the dimensional gate and rescue her; killing all present [including the prince]. She inadvertently names him by calling out 'hey, you'. He is enchanted by his new queen and carries her away from danger.
Neither of the protagonists knows much of the world - essentially they are teenagers - hormones with feet and not much experience. If their storyline was the only one, it would be a good read but not a great one. But this plot contains several storylines - those of the other [older] battlers, the King's efforts to destroy them, and the emerging culture of the Community where sylphs are friends, not slaves...
The action is intense and kept me turning the pages well into the night...
