I have never related to a book more then i did to this book and im so grateful i have been reading it! I struggle with my sexuality as well but i did know about the ace umbrella for a long time already, never really thought that was me because i thought it was just for the people that dont like sex/romance at all! I didnt agree with all the decisions she made but out of experience myself i do know why she made them! I love the character growth and how the other characters around her grew too! Every character was build up great and this book just sucked me in from the beginning till the end!

 I hope there will be more asexual presentation books like this one because its so important! Just its said in the book, all the asexual presentations in movies/books get stuffed away and nobody talks about it because everyone thinks it doesnt excist but in fact we do excist!

Thank you that i could read this ARC read! I have never read a djin fantasy before but i was blown away! I loved how not just the main character but also the other characters around the MC had growth themself! Book was fast paced from the beginning which i love! Got into it very quickly too! I wish i could give more stars but sadly only able to give 5 but its very much worth it! Cant wait for the second book!

I went into this with harry potter in my mind which made me not like this but when i let that go the book got better and better to the point that i just read the second half in one sitting! What im confused with is the ending of this book mostly because i know this is just book 1 of the 3 there are but i love how the book went! I kind of knew in the back of mind what was going to happen but it was still a shocker!
