This was a great book. I had a wonderful time reading it. I liked the worldbuilding and the lore. I'm excited to learn more about the magic system. I had a good time with the slow burn, enemies-to-lovers relationship that is building between Sylvia and Arin.

One of the better enemies to lovers books I’ve read in a long time. It takes most of the book for any feelings to develop - we love a slow burn. However I feel like when they finally acknowledged it to each other it was a bigger jump than I expected. Outside of the romance though I really loved the characters and thought the plot pacing was really strong! I look forward to reading the second book when it comes out!

This was a breath of fresh air and it was great to see Egyptian rep in a space where it’s lacking! The writing was great - I enjoyed the sense of humor and liked all the characters. It’s a promising debut, but did suffer from pretty large pacing and storytelling issues and often felt confusing and messy. There was also a lot of lore dumping that didn’t serve the story. The bones of the plot were SO good, it was just how they were unearthed that I struggled with. So much so that this took me 3 attempts to even push through the first 25% of the novel. We spend so much time preparing for the action of the book, which doesn’t really occur until about 70% of the way through, that it often felt like a bow pulled tight but never released. I’m excited to see this series continue and watch the authors storytelling skills develop along with it.
