WHAT DO YOU MEAN THATS HOW IT ENDS???
I loved this so much. I couldn’t put it down. I loved the world — definitely magical Peaky Blinders and I loved it. Just read my first three sentences and am cringing at how many times I just said “I loved it” but you know what, my brain is working on processing this book, not on utilizing my vocabulary.
Patrick Colson is absolutely giving Thomas Shelby, and I had his voice and aesthetic in mind the whole time. Nina was such an interesting FMC and I loved that she wasn’t just one thing. She is smart but makes some bad choices, she’s keeping a ton of secrets…
Well I’m off to google when the next book comes out, wish me luck!

What was that ending?!? This book was so unexpected and so good! I was literally just listening along to the audio thinking to myself this is pretty cool…then she turns around and blows my mind at the end! If you don’t like cliffhangers don’t read this book (yet) because it is criminal that I have to wait for the next one!
I think it could have been a little cut down in the middle—just kinda dragged a little but wasn’t too annoying and she definitely made up for it with her ending! As a primary audiobook reader I rarely have issues with the narrators but this one did not work for me. Especially for the MMC—the accent they used for when he spoke did not work for me at all. Really didn’t like when they used the accents at all and sometimes I couldn’t even tell if it was the male or female voice doing the accent but especially for the MMC—didn’t work for me and I think it affected how much I liked him as a character. Like the normal voice was perfect so I dunno why they get like they needed to add an accent. Just didn’t fit how I wanted to envision the character at all. So definitely recommend this book however, would not recommend the audio. Will most likely do physical for the rest of the series.

First and foremost, thank you so much to @netgalley and @sagapress for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!
The Peaky Blinders, Thomas Shelby fan in me is screaming. oh my goodness. Let’s just say I will most definitely be re-reading right before book 2 releases because the last half of the book was such a complete whirlwind of emotions. The plot twists were exquisite and man oh man, Patrick was ULTIMATE Thomas Shelby vibes 🤤
Lately in Romantasies, I have been enjoying the romance sub-plot over the fantasy, BUT I have to admit that this time around, I really enjoyed the fantasy over the romance. Not to say that I didn’t enjoy the romance at all, the fantasy aspect was just super intriguing and really well thought out right down to the magic systems and revolutionary uproar. The characters were done so well. Nina was feisty, but not annoying at all, and all the sub-characters had their role and played their part rather perfectly.
I only read the ending maybe like 13 times, to say the least. And yeah I guess i re-read the last 25% via audiobook to mimic the rollercoaster of emotions I had with my first read-through. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I, personally fell in love with this magic system and the Peaky Blinders world building was impeccable.
