4.0

Honestly I really enjoyed this one and will definitely be continuing with the series. It took me awhile to get into the book because the beginning was a bit slow and then the animal death scene towards the beginning was very graphic and difficult for me to listen to. But once the paced picked up and I made sense of some things that had confused me at first I was very hooked. 

I am not overly attached to either of the main girls to be honest but their stories still managed to intrigue me. While the romances did provide me some sexy inspiring quotes I could care less about them. The only one I'd care to see more of is Rielle and Corien but that's mostly because Corien is interesting to me and I want to see how his story plays out.

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG

I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK!! I love seeing Rielle and Eliana’s Story and watching how they intertwine with each other. 

I also love seeing Simon and Eliana bicker a lot, that was awesome. 

And Rielle and Audric and the plot twist at the end was epic and everything was so beautiful and I loved it so much. So much. I need the sequel. NOW!!

2nd time reading this book

I decided to reread this book for the sequel Kingsbane and after further reflection, I decided to drop my rating from 5 stars to 4 stars. Rereading this book I noticed some things that I wasn’t that fond of in this book but overall, I really really enjoyed it and I’m super excited to jump right into the sequel.

WRITING (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)

Claire Legrand has one of my favorite writing styles. Everything I’m reading is just described in a way that can suck me in and it feels like I’m watching a movie which is something I really liked. My favorite part of the book we’re the passages at the beginning of every chapter. I think they added a nice touch to the story and it was really interesting to see how they were connected to the chapter.

PLOT (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)

The plot is also really interesting. I loved seeing the two different perspectives and how they were connected. I think for the most part, I enjoyed Rielle’s chapters more. I just love book that have like trials or tasks that the main character has to solve and that was a main part of her storyline. The ending of the book was also interesting, seeing everything get revealed at the same time which left me completely shook (Jungshook
