It did take a little while to get into the book but once I did it was hard to put down! The plot twists kept me guessing and kept turning the story on its head. I never knew what to expect (with the exception of one twist)! Also, the cover is stunning 😍
I’m excited to check out book 2 and hope the romance/love triangle is a little more developed.

Overall though, I enjoyed the atmosphere of it and the plot was better than some other books I’ve read, but the foreshadowing was sloppy at times.

3.75
There was some interesting characters and relationships which I forgot about before reading it again. I felt like I also enjoyed it more this time around at 3.75 instead of the 3.5 (so much of a difference I know), where I think I could appreciate what was resolved in the first book and what still needs to be resolved in the second.
The ending also leaves this open to have a couple of different scenes and potential scenarios, which I'm interested to see if they do happen or not.
I think my favourite characters are Taya and the Silver Prince, and probably for almost opposite reasons. Taya feels like a very rounded character and the more Maddie interacted with her the more I wanted to read and get to know her, as this is a shorter book and there is a lot happening, she isn't in it as much as I would like and doesn't have a huge amount of character development because of that.
This to me is very much a fun weekend read where you can sit down and read it in a day or two which is what I more or less this time around.
