Some days bring news you never saw coming. Today was one of them.
Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews has reviewed The Girl Who Shattered the Sea, the third book in the Royal Mages series, and named it one of their top ten books of 2026.
I’m deeply honored. Amy reads a huge number of books every year, so knowing that Derya’s story stood out among them means more to me than I can easily put into words.
Here’s a little of what Amy had to say:
“Cetus is an exciting antagonist, and one that is hard to forget. Derya, Eliana and Adakizh grow as characters, and learn from their mistakes. They are perfectly flawed and the chemistry between them, jumps off the pages. What an incredible world built by Evelyn Puerto.”

Thank you, Amy, for spending time in the world of Ardebil and for sharing it with your readers. And thank you to every reader who has followed Derya and Eliana this far. If you haven’t started the series yet, The Girl Who Broke the Dark is where the adventure begins.
