It was a book and I read it. Almost lost points for smut but it was fairly limited.

You can tell this is the 10th book the author has written, it’s so easy to read - but that doesn’t mean it’s simple in its writing. 

The world building is seamless, the plot constantly keeps you engaged & invested in the story, the hidden Easter eggs give you just enough foreshadowing without slapping you over the head, the FMC is interesting & strong & the love dynamic & tension between Thea & Wilder Hawthorne is PERFECTION !

I absolutely devoured this book, I didn’t want to put it down & I’m not only invested in the world & characters I am itching to see what happens next! 

For an adult Romantasy debut (previously the author has written epic YA fantasy series) I think this was extremely well done. It hits all the notes you want in an epic fantasy adventure but with a FMC that thinks like an adult & more adult themes. 

I can’t wait for B2! 

The author provided me with an arc for an honest review
