I finished this book a few days ago and can't stop thinking about it! This book is your next potato chip read! It was so consumable and I did not want to put it down!

I struggled to narrow down what my rating for this book would be. Based on vibes and pure enjoyment, it's a 4.5 star read. However, there were some plot points, especially towards the end, that felt rushed or maddeningly unnecessary which was resulting in a 3.5 star read. So I averaged them and we've got 4 stars!

Alchera is such a relatable character! I enjoyed that I learned about her world with her! Michelle Heard did a fantastic job of helping me immerse myself into the story! While reading, I felt as Alchera felt! There were times I was lost, confused, frustrated, and comforted as if I were Alchera!

I am unsure of my feelings about Alchera and Raighne's relationship. While I love a possessive/protective book boyfriend, I'm not head over heels for Raighne. I might be a bigger Ares fan!

No spoilers but I am still upset about a plot point 90% of the way through the book! Mostly because I wanted that to be the cliffhanger for this book!

Overall, if you are looking for a fast-paced action and adventure fantasy with found family, a destiny that could make or break the FMC, a possessive/protective MMC, and a plethora of villains, look no further!
