A peaky blinders coded world exploring the repercussions of what happens when hoarded power and intentional disenfranchisement are proven to be happening. Language became weirdly literary at points and didn’t necessarily feel like it fit the situation sometimes, but there were story related reasons it could have come off this way. I liked the dynamic between MCs but think Nina is probably too much of a realist and Patrick is too much of an idealist. I saw the ending from a mile away, but interestingly, have no idea what track book two will take or how they’ll resolve how things were left. Groundbreaking? No. But if romantasy with acquired magic, class warfare, and pesky blinders vibes sounds like your jam, give it a go.

SCREAMING. CRYING. THROWING UP.
What did I just READ!? This is HANDS DOWN my top read of 2025 so far.
The yearning…. THE YEARNING!?
Peaky Blinders meets Divine Rivals meets October Sky. This book was FANTASTIC and I can’t think of anything bad to say.
