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.

Why did I sleep on this book for so long?!
“But the will of the damned is stronger.”
This is a fantastic fantasy novel, that has everything! You all know I love a book with unique magic and this one delivered. The political intrigue was killing me! I could feel the walls around our FMC Sylvia. The characters all had great depth, and there were elements in all of them that I could relate to. The world building definitely took some time in the beginning of the novel but was in depth, and added to naturally throughout. I feel well prepared for whatever comes next in the world. The twists had me clutching my pearls, and I couldn’t stop reading until I finished. I may have neglected some things while reading this because I was so invested.
This book was high stakes, true enemies to maybe lovers, hidden magic, hidden heir, political intrigue… I’m probably forgetting a thousand things but seriously, go read this one. If you’ve been considering, get to it!
