A fast paced, adventurous story following a nameless assassin who discovers she has magic after being sent on a mission to kill the Prince of Ithaka.
This book had me since the very start, i loved how i was immediately thrown into a piece of action, and how it all unfolded as the FMC learnt things about herself she would never have dreamed of knowing.
I feel like the book generally lacked quite a bit in the world building department, and it didn’t have as much of the passion there usually is in the writing, though it was definitely great as a debut novel, and amazing overall.
I also loved the depth to the FMC’s background and the flawless chemistry between her and the MMC.
Overall, this book was quite amazing, i’ll definitely be sticking around to read book 2

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book, all opinions are my own.
