This was a great book. I had a wonderful time reading it. I liked the worldbuilding and the lore. I'm excited to learn more about the magic system. I had a good time with the slow burn, enemies-to-lovers relationship that is building between Sylvia and Arin.

Why did I sleep on this book for so long?!
“But the will of the damned is stronger.”
This is a fantastic fantasy novel, that has everything! You all know I love a book with unique magic and this one delivered. The political intrigue was killing me! I could feel the walls around our FMC Sylvia. The characters all had great depth, and there were elements in all of them that I could relate to. The world building definitely took some time in the beginning of the novel but was in depth, and added to naturally throughout. I feel well prepared for whatever comes next in the world. The twists had me clutching my pearls, and I couldn’t stop reading until I finished. I may have neglected some things while reading this because I was so invested.
This book was high stakes, true enemies to maybe lovers, hidden magic, hidden heir, political intrigue… I’m probably forgetting a thousand things but seriously, go read this one. If you’ve been considering, get to it!

I have to preface this book with saying that I'm not a huge fan of fantasy novels, but I do enjoy reading them in bed to help me fall asleep. That said, the story of The Jasad Heir is actually quite good and engaging. I'll likely buy the second one when it comes out.
