Where do I even START? This book deserves all five stars and then some. From the moment I cracked it open, I was swept into Briony Rosewood’s dark, magical world, and let me tell you, I did NOT want to leave. It’s like Soto waved a wand and crafted a romantasy so lush and addictive, I forgot to finish my chicken pasta. 

The enemies-to-lovers tension between Briony and Toven had me clutching my chest like a Victorian heroine. The slow burn? Torture! (But like, we’re happy about it?)

The cliffhanger ending? Rude in the best way. I’m counting the days until book two, because I need it enough I’m willing to read the fanfic it’s based off of just to see if I can figure out where it will go. If you love dark, swoony, magical romance, this is your new obsession.
