i will say i went into this book with some expectations. i expected the pace to be a bit more quick and brutal, and so i let myself down with that. but once i got past my “i want blood and gore” i found myself able to really, really enjoy the book.
the set up and character building does get a bit slow for me at times but i understand where harper was going with it and her intentions. she wanted us to fall in love with who kieran and akren are, and slowly, as they fell slowly for each other.
throughly enjoyed this read and am pretty damn excited to read the second book in the harbinger serieds.

"You're so fucking beautiful, Arken. It devastates me. You know that, don't you?"
This is one of those books where you really need a 6-star rating because holy hell, it was EVERYTHINGGG. This how to do slow burn friends to lovers, and how to do it well. The banter was so top notch, I'm still thinking about it 10 months after reading this book.
If you love:
- Visceral, gorgeous writing that enables you to picture exactly what the author intends
- Autism/ADHD representation
- Academia
- Trainer/trainee
- "We're keeping it platonic... right?"
- Unique magic system
- Dark prophecies
You will eat up this book! I've been screaming into the void about how much I love this book for months. If you've been wanting to pick it up, here's your sign! I promise you won't regret it.
Thank you so much to The Nerd Fam for this ARC review.

This book RUINED me. I really need to stop reading unfinished series because how am I supposed to function after that one ending? And then this is apparently going to be a 6 part series?? Nah.
Man, my heart shattered for Arken 😭

I read over 459 pages waiting for something, ANYTHING, to happen. Almost 80% in and nothing happened. I think this book was to focused on the relationship (friendship) between the two main characters that it forgot to add substance to move the story along.
