Throughout the book, I teetered with my rated and settled on 4 stars for the treachery. 

Everyone has an agenda and will do just about anything to achieve their goals, including our heroine. 

Though many of their goals align, will they be ready for the truth of their actions and how they impact one another?

And I have to say, like many others, I'm not sure about the love interest. I kinda want it to be someone else, so we'll see how it all comes together in the end.

This was a bit slow for my liking and some of the world building confused me. I also felt like the ending was rather abrupt.

That being said, i loved the proper enemies to lovers romance as well as Keera’s characterization. I also deeply appreciated the exploration of colonialism and the harms it causes. There’s no mistaking the message here, even for my autistic brain. 

I’m intrigued enough that i already grabbed 2 on Libby. I hope we get some answers because there’s so much unknown…

Are she and riven fated mates? What kind of fae is she? How old is she, actually? What’s gonna happen when she confront riven? How long has Killian been working BTS?

A surprisingly enjoyable story which needs more love. A story about Fae and humans, saving a kingdom, slow burn romance, found family and a strong FMC, fighting for survival, for love and her people ⚔️
