I AM HOOKED.

When I started this I immediately noticed the Throne of Glass vibes it was giving off. Luckily though, over the course of the book I do think it felt different enough that I became very much attached to the storyline. So if you loved ToG, my star rating is clearly saying TRY THIS ONE.

I loved having dual POV with Sorrin and Scarlett. There’s incredible tension between them. From strangers to sort of friends to lovers to enemies. I loved all of the ups and downs. This isn’t (currently) a straight forward romance and I actually am really into that. It’s a nice mix-up from my usual fantasy romance reads. This feels spread out, playing the long game, and I’ve got 4 more books to see how it all unfolds.

The plot is enjoyable. I loved the found family vibes and the close relationship between characters. I felt all the things and some of those reveals at the end are some of my favorite to read. FAVORITE. There’s plenty of action and intrigue, some burgeoning court politics and all sorts of fae, shifters, vampires, witches and more. This was an amazing first book and I want more.

It was a great audiobook too!!
