Fell for author's TikToks. Should have known better.
Reads like really bad tween fanfiction. World building terrible, MC insufferable, motives make no sense, pacing is so strange.

It was a fast, fun read. A couple of the plot points it too a moment to figure out, not too long. There are a few spots the pacing was maybe a little too quick, but it wasn't so much to be a problem for me. I'm looking forward to book 2.

I was expecting a lot and this book was everything and more. If you want an easy going book with amazing female characters, a stunning love story and the best plot twist I believe Veil of Fates it’s for you.
I can’t wait to pick book 2 and get my soul destroyed again ✨

Jinapher J Hoffman is the queen of misdirection. That’s two of her books I’ve now read where I’ve picked up on a relatively predictable plot twist fairly early on, only to be thrown a curveball later in the book that I didn’t see coming.
I swear she feeds us these easy to guess storylines that we’ll inevitably focus on the whole way through, waiting for it to happen, all so she can plant the seeds for another twist that will absolutely blindside you. It’s very exhilarating and makes for a really enjoyable reading experience. Such a sneaky sneak!
I really enjoyed this one, although not quite as much as For Mist and Tar. Zora is very likeable as a MC, but I did find the world building in this one a little on the weaker side. The love story element seemed a bit out of the blue too - we went from zero to one hundred and I feel like I missed the middle. Where was the build up, the angst and the growing tension?
This is a shorter book, so I understand trying to fit more into less pages, but it came across rushed for me. There also seemed to be a bunch of plot holes, but I’m hoping these will be answered in the next book - I’m for sure going to keep reading so I guess I’ll find out!
In summary: short and not so sweet - sharp and gripping with a bit of fun and an immediate connection between characters. I have SO many unanswered questions, so on to the next book we go

Found myself enjoying this short book
It’s short, but actioned packed. Holy major cliffhanger! I did not see that ending coming. Thankfully book two will out next week.
