This was an amazing slow burn fantasy. Amira is the perfect badass FMC and Greylan’s dark, brooding attitude but softness towards Amira is absolutely perfect. 

The initial few chapters build the dark backstory for Amira’s desperation to escape her father and the training camp. 

This book is a wonderful mix between The Selection and The Red Queen but with its own interesting twists. Overall, most of the main characters are extremely likeable and the plot points kept me reading late into the night. 

I will definitely be reading book number 2 which releases later this month!
