5.0

The blurb is 100% correct, because i did all of that and am now begging for the second book. I bought this one for the stunning cover and absolutely loved it. I hold the main characters in my heart and i love their evolution, how their motivations are portrayed and shown. The story has some subtle hints but with still so many surprises, until the very end.

I really liked this book. Nhika is my favorite type of MC, someone doing what they have to to survive, but still holding to certain ideals. Her POV was really great to read.

The plot is part mystery/thriller, part medical drama in a fantasy setting and I am impressed by how well it all worked in this book. Kochin also was a great counter to Nhika. Their relationship does seem to develop and change very quickly, I was wishing there were more interactions between the two of them.

I would love to read another book in this world. The ending was phenomenal and the characters well developed. A great read!
