Here we are at the ending of another first book from AWZ. I have unfortunately felt let down two times over with the last book in her trilogy and previous duology. SO PLEASE. LET BOOK TWO BE GOOD. I liked this book y’all. I am maintaining hope.
The idea was a concept I’ve read before but I enjoyed the spin and take on the story line. There’s a little bit of a competition which moved the plot well enough. The romantic banter felt a little forced on the audiobook but when I was physically reading I liked it a lot more. It’s a good enemies vibe and there were enough movement and turns in the last few chapters that absolutely have me questioning where this will go.
The characters were well crafted, I do still very much enjoy the writing style and I’m looking forward to the sequel.
Overall audience notes:
- NA Fantasy Romance
- Language: mild
- Romance: one vague open door
- Violence: moderate
- Content warnings: loss of loved ones, war themes, creature attacks
