Review:
This was definitely a fast paced Fantasy book that you can read in between heavy books. Usually, this falls under a 3 star rating for me. I definitely liked how Fox built a world where noble families are fighting and it comes down to a few members to save the day. The story was straightforward and you could see development and growth in the main character, Hermione.
Hermione has grown her entire life focusing on her marriage proposal and how that will contribute to her family. Yet, when it comes down to it, she is left to save her family and others from a war that has been brewing for many years.
I definitely enjoyed the conversation between Hermione and seeing how she developed. I also really enjoyed meeting some of the characters in their younger versus older selves. I did think the book could have gone deeper into some of the themes. However, I will definitely be reading a book two if it comes out!
Thank you to NetGalley for an Arc for my honest opinion.

I really enjoyed this! This gives of Harry Potter vibes while you read it (especially as the main character is called Hermione) and this immediately had me hooked. For me, this was a really fast-paced book which I found to be a quick read as I didn’t want to put it down. It’s also really refreshing to read a book that has no romantic undertones in it with Hermione & Christian being siblings.
