such a good fantasy read. i would highly recommend for ages 15 and above. please check the content warnings before reading though. it might be too overwhelming for some people. i would not recommend this book as like the very first book you read as a teen. start with something more lighthearted and easy to read. read this after like 5 different books or so. its a really good book for getting into fantasy though!
(the content warnings i've put is for both the first and second book of this duology)

Like I said it was a very expensive trip to the bookstore so I had a LOT of books to read and this one was not very high on the list. So at first I picked it up and read about 15 pages and then started reading another book. About a month later I picked this book up again and OH MY GOD I AM IN LOVE.
I don’t know why I ever put this book down to begin with because it had me hooked from the very first page. This book isn’t like others where the author slowly leads you into the story. No, this book is action packed from the start and doesn’t slow down. But even though it’s fast paced it doesn’t make the book feel rushed. This book is very easy to read, but still makes you think and when this book has you it will not let you go. The characters were amazing, the author could make you either really love a character or really hate them, there really wasn’t an in between. I will say, that at some points in this book I almost laughed out loud. The main character Alosa was just so funny when she would give a sarcastic remark or whenever she would escape her cell on the ship. Although the funniest moments were between Alosa and Riden, her love interest. One of my favorite parts was when Riden left her locked in his room and when he came back she had trashed it.
If you are thinking of reading this book, look no further, this is me telling you to go read it. You will thank me later. Now if you will excuse me I am off to order the second book.
