This was such a good read! The world building was so immersive and gave the book such a lush, mythical, dark vibe I could not get enough of. Layna’s journey is a wild ride of myth, fate, power, and identity with the perfect amount of forbidden romance and betrayal sprinkled in. I really loved the lore that comes to light throughout, I’m always game for messy royal-court-arranged-marriage drama. The fantasy and magic is so powerful, I was so hooked by the end and canNOT wait for the next book!!
