This book..

All I can say is, it was worth the wait. The first book drug me in and this one held me down. I only wanted to throw the book across the room once, and I was glad of it because it meant I was very invested in Oraya and Raihn. I loved this story and am sad that it has to end.

god this sent me into a slump i dont really know why i really liked it at first but i was just so busy and then every time i went back to read it i was bored but at least its done now. i feel like the first book was loads better this was so slow paced for a fantasy book with this much action, i'll still read the rest of the series but idk

I definitely too a long time to read this book. The start and the end has me not reading it super fast and not dying over it but the whole 75% in the middle of the book really made me realise how much I love Oraya and Raihn!!
I am so glad there's going to be 6 books in this series 🥰
