There goes my 5th time reading this book.

By now I know pretty much all of what's in that book, but it was nice to revisit it as an audiobook !
My one critic about it is that Jax's narrator sometimes felt a bit flat to me? I think he lacked emotions a bit.

The story in itself was really great! A perk of having read it 5 times in 13 months is that now I notices everything,
like how obvious Alek's manipulations are
.
For me, Tycho and Jax are the best part of the book, their relationship is just so... perfect? It's rare to see such healthy and awsome relationships in romantasy

Tycho having the same narrator as Harristan in Destroy the Day is insane but also so good.
Giving Alek Tycho's narrator for the epilogue is vile 💀😂

This is like, my fourth time reading this book, and I still love it just as much.

Things I hope to see in the next book :
– Why did Callyn's mother have a magic necklace?!?!?!?
– Jax and Rhen
– Jax and Emberfall
– More about the Scravers and the history of magesmiths
– Nolla Verin instructing Callyn and Nora in self defense
– Noah !

OMG I LOVE THAT BOOK SO MUCH

I just re-read it after reading all of the Cursebreakers trilogy, and it was sooooo good.
Somehow I love Tycho even more.
He and Jax are so precious their romance was insanely good.

I'm pretty sure the re-read make me hate Alek even more tho. He can rot in hell :)

It was so good to read about the other characters from the Cursebreakers series, especially Rhen.
We need more Noah too

I loved that book so much much yet I haven't even read the series it's a spin-off off. 

Tycho was such a surprising character, he was so interesting and amazing and lovable.
Jax as well. 

The romance had me giggling like an idiot, I swear my family thought I was going insane, but really it was so good !!! 

The actual plot was also really good. I love how for much of the book there's not really a villain, just people with drastically opposed opinions. 


I need the second book ASAP. I need more with these characters. 


That scene when Tycho was like, dying, but he noticed he'd let his blood on Jax's cheek and like went to kinda clean it >>>>>>>>>>
