This book featured many tried and true staples (or tropes) of the YA dark fantasy genre. Apart from there being more character deaths than I initially expected, I found the plot somewhat predictable. Perhaps that's more due to the fact that I've read a lot of these kinds of books than anything else.
I found the two leads pretty likable, I am not a big enemies-to-lovers fan, so I appreciated a more refreshing example of two people who just happen to have natural chemistry and bring out the best in each other. They always treated each other like respectful equals, despite there technically being a power imbalance.
Praise be to Moira Quirk for her masterful narration, as always. I appreciate when audiobooks do dual narrators for dual POVs, but honestly I wouldn't have minded if she narrated the whole thing. Sorry to the male narrator, he was fine.

I should have dnf'ed this book.
It's just a basic "enemies" to lovers romantasy book. I did not care about any of the characters, the plottwist was predictable, the cliffhanger was stupid.
I have never been this bored

The banter in this book is great. There is an interesting god based magic system, that you saw develop throughout the book.
