Disability rep in fantasy! We love to see it! If you've seen the Wikipedia page for this book, I made that! Rhen kinda annoys me though unfortunately. Still q great book anyway.

the female lead is quite strong considering she’s just normal people for DC, entering Emberfall. She also very reckless and clueless on how things work in Emberfall which sometimes makes her actions seem stupid which is quite understandable in her standpoint bc she’s new to the world but I just hope that she gets stronger at the end in terms of sword fighting or politics or war strategy so that I could feel her character development a little more because I feel like she begs a lot toward the end of the book, despite the fact the she seems determined and strong minded at the beginning. The character development of the ml is visible enough in the book, but I just hope to see more in the fl. Also I like there is a representation of disability portrayed in the fl in the book

It’s funny at the beginning and a little bit at the end. Overall, I enjoyed the book, I’ve read it in a day and a half but somehow I feel like it’s medium pacing and very slow towards the end.

I had such high expectations for this book, as I've heard so many good things from podcasts and YouTubers, but unfortunately it didn't grasp my attention throughout the entire novel. Might have been because I was in a bit of a reading slump, but I'm not sure. I'm still willing to read the rest of the series though!

I love this book since I am a sucker for Beauty and the Beast retellings, but I am sorry... I really can't feel the ✨romance✨ between the main characters—though there are some parts where they are romantic and caring towards each other, most of the time they just talk like they just met each other. I thought it was going to have a love triangle trope, but it didn't (THANK GOD). Also, when I first read this book, I was honestly confused about who the ML was, even though it was already obviously stated in the story’s description. No offense to Rhen, but I actually feel more tension between Harper & Grey. But overall, this book is nice.

Reading this was a breeze. I loved the way this book started and how Harper was written. Harper and Grey had more chemistry than Rhen and Harper imo. I thought we were gonna switch up love interests, lol.
