Enjoyed reading this, sort of slow in the beginning but picks up half way through. Love the characters, Brie’s situation is tough with no clear right answer so I was able to sympathize with her and understanding her pain, Sebastian and Finn are both heart throbs and I was going back and forth between the two until the very end. Great world building, if not a bit confusing (had to re read a lot to grasp some lore but it clicks) and am excited to read more in this series. Read it too soon, gotta wait for book 2 now!

World building and immersion are amazingly well done. There’s lots of factions, characters, and lands. But despite this, I never felt confused or overloaded with information. But the Female Lead is so irritating. She’s not only naive, but denser than lead. She never asks the right questions, so much so that any foreshadowing becomes blatant and frustrating. It’s one thing to have an author guide the readers to future plot twists, and another to spoon feed them it with their nose pinched shut. I hope the supporting characters are treated better in the next book, and that the FL wises up.

If you are a fan of A Court of Thorns and Roses then you will definitely like this because there are a lot of similarities.

I enjoyed this and it was kind of addicting even though I had issues with parts of it. The main character was great but I wasn't a fan of the love interests. The plot was entertaining but a bit predictable. The writing was pretty good! I will definitely continue the series but also don't think it will be a new favorite unless the sequel gets a lot better.
