3.5 ⭐️’s
The first half of this book really dragged for me. I feel like the first 50% of the book could’ve been reduced to 20% of the book and it could’ve just been shorter. There were too many unnecessary scenes. BUT the second half redeemed the first half! I LOVE the way this book ended! And I’ll definitely pick up book 2 to see what happened.
Other things I liked about the book:
• The characters!
• The awful, yet entertaining, trials they had to go through while training.
• The morally grey-ness of Sloane. (I always love morally grey characters, but it hit different when it’s a morally grey Black girl🥰)
• And most importantly, every single time the Orishas were talked about❤️
