Loveable characters: Yes

This was SO good! It did a really good job of setting up the rest of the series. I have so many questions about everything-Jasmine's past, how their magic works, how deep is the Starvein and Xolani lore?

I love that the bodyguard role is reversed with Jasmine guarding Asher. Their banter is everything by the way lol. It's obvious from the beginning that it's more of an academic rivals to lovers because they're fighting their feelings the whole time 😂

The world and magic was unique. There is some information in this first book, but not near enough to satisfy my curiosity. I hope the second gives us more to go on and more background knowledge about the magic, Xolani's, Starveins, and what the two working together means. 

I really enjoyed this and I'm excited to see where the rest of the series goes!
