I liked it but the romance was not romancing like every time I thought Oh now they will surely finally kiss the author was like nope I will just put some action in it something life threatining so they won't kiss. I went into this thinking its a cute romance. And don't get me wrong I love and absolutely adore Trystan and Evie but like there was just 1 kissing scene!!! But I really loved the plot and the ending and the characters like wow I can't wait for the second and third book!

adventurous dark mysterious sad slow-paced

2.5

It had promise but ended up lacking.  The pacing felt awkward, the pining was uninspired, the world building was confusing..  I could go on, but it wasn't a bad book.  Doubt I will continue the series.
