ゞ "A sorcerer with battle scars, dead friends, and blood on her hands occupied the mirror. The frightened faces of the senators came back to Vhalla with vivid clarity. They were sending her to war, so she would go and become something they had every right to fear."
₊❏ Oh my goodness gracious. This book may not be on my 5 star shelf, but boy i really wish it was. I found it easy to relate to the main character, but mostly after the first half of the book. The one thing that had bothered me most was her indecision, which had stretched out for longer than i expected it to. On another hand, i can totally understand her, as being thrown into a world you know absolutely nothing and ripped away from the only bit of safety you had.. it must be hard. Either way, this was a really fun and quick read, and a solid 4.5 ★

THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
I wasn't able to write a review as soon as I finished it because I was just so caught up with my feelings for this book that I couldn't formulate the right words to describe just how amazing it was. This isn't going to be a long review because I don't want to give anything about this book away - it is so much better to read it without knowing much about it because that's what I did. All I'm going to say is that this is definitely the best book I've read this year and I hope the next books I read will be just as amazing as this one, if not more. The characters and world-building were all I've ever wanted in a book, and the narration was clear and exciting. I could not have asked for more from this book!

An interesting and emotionally turbulent tale set in an interesting world filled with people and prejudices that feel real. I very much enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next one.

Good world building. SUPER asshole princes. Slow plotline. Same old thing where the unassuming girl turns out to be way more powerful and/or special than anyone ever guessed. Same old thing where girl has two different guys she could end up with and it's a whole big dramatic thing to freaking pick one.
