4.5/5 Stars for me 🌟

Only docking a half point because it took me about 150 pages to truly get into, but that’s also to be expected for book one’s world building in a fantasy series. All around this book was such a good read, more fantasy than romance- which ya girl kinda likes so if you want a touch of romance and absolute female badassery, this is a good one for you. 

Carissa’s writing style flows like butter to me, there’s something about authors who can make their characters so loveable, she paint pictures with words to bring this realm to life. If she writes it, I’m reading it 🫡

Strong character development,
Grumpy X Sunshine
Slow Burn
Badass FMC
Fast Pace
Magic System & Unique Magical Creatures
Forced Proximity
Tense, Hopeful, & Reflective

Looking forward to diving straight into the next one 😇
