I really loved this story. The world building was clear and easy to fall into. I really enjoyed getting both main characters points of view and slowly watching them put the pieces together and fall for each other. I also adore the friendship of Koraine and Nyla. I’m excited to see where the story goes next and especially what happens with Nyla.

Attention all Zutara fans 🗣️📣 this is the damn book for you!
The female MC does remind me of Yue... But I'm not complaining 😂
The prince has been served my heart on a gold platter. Seriously Bellamy, take it, it's yours.
Both Koraine and Bellamy are incredibly caring and strong willed characters. Their past and their growth in this book is truly something special. I'm quite proud of both of them and how far they have come.
All in all they both stole my heart and I'm DYING to have that second book😭

Lucky I was able to receive the ARC of this book. I do wish it was longer, as the “slow burn romance” trope was a bit rushed for me, with the book being hardly over 300 pages. Falling in love over the course of one summer feels a bit rushed if they truly are from rivalry kingdoms. But I get it, they both are so pretty they have to fall in love with each other… It is set up perfectly for the next book in the series, with Nyla coming to bring Bellamy back or else. Some beautiful quotes about the stark contrast between fire and ice. Wish it included more world building and included the use of their powers more, but I’m sure we will get plenty more of that in the next book(s) during the probable war between the kingdoms.
