This book was actually better than I expected. Like it was slow at the start and we were learning about the characters but near the middle and end omg I was obsessed.

Kade and Sev?? Holy shit omg I wanted a kiss from them and I’m so mad we didn’t get it and I really hope Kade is alive in the next book BECAUSE HES SO HOT OMG.

And Tristan and Veronyka’s friendship was so good like I loved reading Tristan’s pov and I hope they progress into a relationship because they’re so fricken cute.

At the start I was kind of bored of Sev like I was more interested in Nyka and Tristan but then I wanted Sev’s pov near the middle and also because I wanted to see Kade of course but I was so surprised about their grandma like how did I not put it together that she was someone important in THAT way like she had been alive.

ALSO VAL?? OMG IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE LIKE SHES AVALKYRIE REBORN LIKE THATS SO CRAZY. I don’t agree with the way she went about things but I understand her love for her sister and Nyka too and the fact that Pheronia is Nyka’s mother like I need to know more because how is this possible??

stopped reading the book before pages 100. I felt as if the story was slow and just long. I kept wondering how I thought so much tjme had passed and every time I looked to see how many pages I’ve read I was surprised to have only read 7 pages more than the time I previously checked.

Some have criticized this book for slow pacing and info dumping, however I felt like this was an asset to the story. I was so interested in the story and all the characters and how they fit together. In saying that I am not one to read slow paced books-I usually get bored. But in this case I was hooked from the beginning. Cant wait to continue this awesome series

My Review: I wanted to love this one so much. I mean the cover was just so pretty and I love stories about sisters, magic, and magical creatures. But I have to say that this one started out pretty well with some info dumping but the author started out with this being done in a way that I wanted to learn more. But the closer I crept towards 60 pages I just found myself wanting to skim the pages because it was just dragging so bad. After that I was just kind of done. The dual POV wasn't right for this story if you ask me. I would have much rather had the story all in Veronyka's as I was really interested in her part of the story and really didn't care about the other guy who I have to say wasn't even in the description of this title. So that was kind of weird.

For me I really just wished that this book would have been faster.

This was a solid first book. I haven’t read much YA in a while, but I recently read the Aurelian Cycle by Rosaría Munda and that was so good I decided to catch up on some YA series.

I’m obsessed with the idea of Phoenix’s. I feel like they’ve been underused in fantasy. A slow burn romance for sure (I mean it’s obvious they’re into each other but they’re not together yet).

Ending has me questioning who the main villain is for the rest of the series.
