Quick fun read, probably will only grab the sequel when it becomes available at my library though

Eh

It was interesting for about a quarter but then just got boring, confusing, repetitive. I also really don’t find Darius to be an attractive male lead at all. In fact, he creeped me out when he made advances. Reagan, was either stupid one minute, smart the next, bragging later, trying to sweat while being a tough chick. Her crutch was trying to be relatable. All the side characters were just as confusing their attempt to not be one note.

Whew, finally a badass female main character that isn't weak or useless until the male main character comes into play. This is definitely a refreshing read for me in this regard. I really adore the world. it seems much more realistic than the magical worlds I've seen built in the present time. If I could give it 3.5 stars, I would, but I gave it 4 since it does have a bit of a charm to it

That being said, in regards to how the badass main character was written, I'd be curious if she was maybe written pre 2014. I often laughed out loud because I didn't know what else to do with the cringe energy she exuded. Outside of her actual power and skills, her personality felt like a caricature of a badass. The attempt at zingy one-liners was unfortunate, and the first 30% I kept saying I'd put this in the DNF pile. But the world and other characters are quite charming. The suspense of the story is compelling, and I'm excited to read the next book for that reason mostly.
Now the male main character is written much better, and I am enjoying the slow burn with them but not super looking forward to when things get steamy with the FMC and those one liners.

Definitely liked the supporting characters and the interweaving of their histories and factions.

The important reveal at the end was nice and definitely sets up the next books well. I wouldn't have even been mad if it was pushed out another book or two. It's worth the wait.

Overall, it's still a good read, and I'm invested now that I'm adjusted to looking past the little kinks in characterization.
