Dark Shores by Danielle L. Jensen
4.0

While I was initially under a very different impression about what this book was about due to the synopsis, I still enjoyed the journey. My favorite thing about this book was the complex world-building and magic systems. It’s clear that a lot of work went into building this world and it shows in a very positive way.
Spoiler Teriana and Marcus technically fall into a slowburn, enemies to lovers romance, though I had a hard time seeing the romance aspect of it. I could totally see a friendship eventually growing, but not romance. In any case, they are certainly left with a lot of obstacles to overcome- romantic and otherwise.
I look forward to seeing how the adventure continues in Dark Skies!
