A dual POV, fast paced, low fantasy story filled with characters that are easy to love, witty banter, and breath holding action.

The tension between the characters is TAUT but the burn is slowwww.

The storyline itself is reminiscent of several other series, but I still loved every moment.

I liked and disliked this book all at once😭 I really really wanted to like this book, but it was rough to get through (keep in mind I am in a reading slump right now so i cant tell how much of my feelings are reading slump and how much are genuine 🧎🏽‍♀️). However, the tension between kai and pae was fun to read. Yet, i found myself bored at times and just not caring. I really enjoy the story overall and im really excited to see paeydn kill everyone. I know thats not gonna happen but still. I have very little attachment to kai at this point - kind of a kai dislikerr 😅 - and Kitt too bro 🧐 Like both of em irritate me for some reason. Like the whole I love my father even though he abuses me and I choose to turn a blind eye to people dying at the cost of my father. Why do you have any empathy for a pitiful man, like who cares hes your only family?? You can hate your only family 😭✋ so like if this turns into an everyone dies - except pae- type of series i dont know if I will be mad because fuck all of those elites for real 😂 anyways i say this to say that im excited for book 2! The first book in alot of fanasty series tend to be hit or miss i find.. so like im not knocking this series just yet. Im excited for more because I see the potential this series has. The wait to july has begun tho 🙂‍↕️🫵
