The characters are well-developed, and the stakes are real. Raine deftly balances the stories of Nicole, Gwen, and Estelle while commenting on the nature of power and sisterhood. She has done an excellent job crafting a unique world inhabited by relatable characters. These Lies That Live Between Us by Kai Raine is a must-read for fans of high fantasy and young adult fiction.

I really enjoyed “These Lies That Live Between Us,” by Kai Raine. Mysterious worldly and supernatural elements, forbidden magic, royalty, goddesses, witches, etc., – what’s not to like? This world is full of spirited characters, complexity and non-stop unpredictable activity.

Words are the most dangerous power there ever was.
“Good-bye, and good riddance” were the last words Gwen’s twin ever said to her.
But there are bigger problems: an enemy army has revived a forbidden magic. They’ve invaded a neighboring country, and Gwen’s kingdom will be next. Her only hope of salvation is a legend, so she sets out to find it.
The magic has many names, and many believe they know what it is—but Gwen begins to see that most are mistaken. At last it is the wind itself that forces her to make a choice: accept the forbidden magic and learn it, or die.
Gwen set out to save her people. Instead, she sets in motion a series of events that will have consequences bigger and further-reaching than she ever imagined. This is the start of a fantasy epic about family, adventure, love, loss and the ever-changing interpretation of history long gone.
