4.5
adventurous dark tense medium-paced

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Absolutely loved this one!
I loved the high stakes competition and I loved that the author did shirk on the bloody/gory details of it! It made it all the more exciting to read about it!
I loved the relationship between Ophelia and Blackwell although I will say I felt that Ophelia could be a bit naive at times. Definitely on the spicer side for me but I didn’t mind it, sometimes it felt like a bit much but I’m still easing into spicer stories. 
Definitely read the trigger warnings before reading this because the parts where Ophelia’s OCD came out could be harder to read about (at least for me). 

Cannot wait to snag a copy of Enchantra and see what the author is going to do next!
