The writing is ROUGH. also you’re telling me that our main character knew the consequences of her actions in advance and still got herself exiled? For no real reason?

Oh boy where do I start? I haven't been this down bad for a group of characters in a long time. Every single one of the like main four (the ones that form relationships in this book) are so crazy attractive. After the description of their outfits at the first fae event I was sold. In terms of plot, I really liked that we had a book with elves and fae and humans because I feel like you usually only get 2 of the 3. The way that Lettle's divination and prophecies and her interpretation of them are used as clues and red herrings was incredibly smart.
The reveal of Rayan being the son of the fae's brother was crazy and I did not see that coming, the cousin however I had bad feelings about, but Rayan becoming king? Crazy but so cool. The enemies to lovers tension between Yeeran and Furi was electric and had me feeling every kind of way.
This was a very well balanced romantasy as I definitely felt like it was a pretty good 50/50 split and didn't focus too much on one or the other. Both of the romances did feel slightly rushed, especially considering this is going to be a series, but I loved the relationships all the same.
