Loved it. Saw the plot twist coming but it definitely wasn't how I expected it! Can't wait for book two. Plus it is 🌶️

Well, this is difficult. All I can say is that I did not enjoy this book at all. Someone recommended this to me to read after TWOTQ and I was utterly disappointed. A lot of parts grossed me out, could see the plot twist from a mile away and for me, it felt like insta love, which I don’t like. At least for the male MC when he was introduced 100 pages into the book 😂. I will not continue this series. I guess, if you liked to read a smutty book, ok, but if you‘re here for the fantasy, it would be a no from me.

If anyone knows me, they know I love a good fantasy book with spice. I actually search for it and when I saw this book trending, everyone talking about it, I had to read it.

So let’s get right into it. The first half of the book is HARD. It’s really hard to read. Estrella is a good FMC but there’s something off about her. I still can’t quite describe it but there’s something I just don’t like.
Cael I’m is practically every girls dream. I mean come on, the guy is freaking tall, muscled, well defined (in every area) and has a God damn mouth on him. What’s not to love? And the way he does everything FOR her and would do ANYTHING for her, I’m in awe.

Again, the writing style is difficult to read. I found myself sometimes having to read the same page a few times or skimming, it’s sad but true. The world that it’s set is a bit strange but understandable (after a few reads). Every character we meet is complex, they each have strong personalities. The ending was kind of predictable but still has a bit of a shock value to it.

Having said all that, I give this a 3/3.5 ⭐️. The spice in it really is amazing. That’s why I’m giving it more cause wow, give me a Caelum.

The main male character is full of red flags and yeah it was predictable, but I was entertained, and I look forward to reading the second book in the series. I probably wouldn't recommend the book to anyone though lmao
