This book caught me by surprise! I just had picked it up at random and honestly I was hooked! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the pacing felt weird to me, and some things that happened felt very sudden or out of nowhere. Other than that it was such a fun read and I am looking forward to continuing the series!
this was fun
everything was unoriginal imo, read lots of similar stuff before and they were way better planned and written
i got tired of the repetitive writing tbh
how many times can a person bite his lip? how many times can a person’s cheeks tint red in embarrassment. it was all very cliché, very predictable
and in my opinion, please dont come for me for this
i felt like the author was trying to make anyone and everyone be bi or just include any kind of lgbtq into it. and it wasn’t smooth at allllll. it felt very awkward and stiff
same goes for the dialogue, i’d grimace sometimes from how stiff and unnatural it sounded. no way uou read that and thought ‘yeah that’s definitely what anyone says in that situation’
tbe plot was weird at times
we got introduced to killian learning that he doesn’t attend anything much cause he’s not interested in the crown. Great, so far so good. but then suddenly he shows up alot? comments and adds his input to plans? and that’s natural? no one suspects anything??
you could’ve atleast waited a bit maybe or removed the part saying that he doesn’t show up much to anything
the MMC was so BOOOOORING. why did she fall in love with him out of everyone? tf? thought nikolai had more of a personality to him than riven.
the romance went like this: they met, he kisses her, met again, he hates her, he hates her so much, she asks him why do you hate me, they fall in love.
overall, it was fun sure but i won’t continue the series, i won’t be recommending it to others and i do t think i’ll reread this ever.

Intriguing but some things quite predictable, however think it's worth it for the rest of the story, well built world, if TOG to HoF + Assasins Blade were one book vibes. Liked how tho for once our main character is not 18 years old, actually leans into she is young but has a longer lifespan d/t heritage thus is in her 60s but its equivalent to like 20s
