It was fine. The book is medium pace but feels slow paced (so it drags) and the enemies to lovers aspect could have been stronger in that it was mostly unconvincing. The e2l dynamic should have just been focused on the fact that they are on opposite sides of the war because the personal aspect of their enemy dynamic was lacking and unconvincing Just not fleshed out enough. I would go into more detail but I'm too tired lol (not bc of the book I just need to go to sleep). Anyway it wasn't engaging enough for me be interested in reading the 2nd book but I do think there's an audience for it.

This was a great read! It was easy to follow and so engaging. I love the tension and complex emotions between Alaric and Talasyn. The way they learn more about their roles and about each other is beautiful.

i wish they would just tell each other how the really feel all the complex parts of it.

I love Sevreem and Gia. They had me laughing a few times.
Throughout the book, I found myself giggling and smirking. I thought the world building was well done and I’m excited to read the rest of the series.

DNF at 46%

I could not get through the dialogue, felt no real chemistry between the MCs. I knew going in that this was a Reylo fic and while I don’t care too much for Reylo, I do love Rey. Unfortunately the FMC in this is absolutely insufferable and very un-Rey-like. 

But I did go and start reading the fic that it’s based on and I probably would recommend reading the original fic over this. Some of the dialogue and phrasing is even picked straight out of the fic.

Loved it, but could have done without the

smut near the end tbh. We also never actually got to see Alaric's "tragic backstory/hard family life"(TM), we just hear about it
