It was fine. I went into it with high expectations and they weren’t met. It wasn’t a bad book by any means. I think the magic is interesting and I will read the next book but I felt like there wasn’t enough internal dialogue or scene setting. It felt like I was just jumping from one conversation to the next and not getting flushed out emotions or settings. Also I still have questions that weren’t really answered.

Loved this more than I was expecting. Dark and a bit spooky with an interesting magic system and a great slooow burn romance that I enjoyed immensely. 

Didn’t love some of the rhyming poems and some of the dialogue felt a bit too modern in the context of this old fashioned world!

Popular trading card game turns deadly as entire kingdom takes it too seriously


Jokes aside, the story is very gripping. The lore and world building were well done, the characters fleshed out. The romance had my heart pounding, and the spicy scene was titillating

I guessed the Nightmare’s true identity pretty early on, but it was a good reveal halfway through anyway

Excited to read the next one
