Oraya is one of the best female characters I've read about.

4.5 ⭐️ (📚)

Um ok. Damn. This was kind of fucking awesome, I started it out being super confused, but also pleasantly invested in this story - the premise was a little confusing at first but it was helpfully separated into distinct parts which made it much easier. I feel like all fantasy’s start a little confuddled because you’re trying to create a whole new world in your head

However I really enjoyed this - I was expecting this to be a standalone HEA with no aftershocks so I was bumbling away through this book without a care in the world, enjoying the plot and the romance thickening when BOOM the last 5 % hit me like a ton of fucking BRICKS 

The plot twist?!? Like it genuinely had me gasping and I was so fucking betrayed by raihn, he was doing so well and the whole blood sharing and caring thing pulled at my little heart strings but damn 💔💔😭 he really flipped a switch. He still loves her in his heart tho which is what brakes my heart. I really do hope that they get their happy ending after 5 books because their relationship during the trials is so beautiful to read. And raihns sacrifice, then orayas sacrifice 😭 my heart couldn’t take it


I’m so excited to continue this series but god am I disappointed in myself because I have to WAIT for these books to come out, I’m going to be so deprived  I’m excited to see what we find out about oraya too

But this book really impressed me, and it genuinely shocked me so congrats to the author. Twas a great read 

I will be reading her other series after reading the only books of this series that is out

This book… It’s so good. The trials and emotional ride had me hooked. I fell in love with the characters. The world building in this series is absolutely amazing and the characters are so well-written. The romance is fantastic and I cannot believe the ending! I had to stop and stare at the book for a minute after that! I’m so excited to start the next in this series.
