This series has been on my TBR for so long and I just kept waiting for the right time to start it. I have to admit that the first half of this book felt a bit slow. There was just so much world building and so much set up for the second half of the book. However, I think the buildup was worth it. I LOVED the end of this book. Im not the type of person who likes to guess at the twists that are coming and there were quite a few twists I didnt see coming but loved. I loved how flawed the FMC was and seeing her go from the broken shell that she was in the beginning of the book to a person willing to fight for even the smallest person. And the MMC was just the right amount of morally grey. Their romance was a slow burn and I can't wait to see what happens next.
