It starts out slow, but picks up. It’s a good story!

I wish the love story was better developed, I feel like they just were in lust with each other and then it became love

I like that it’s a closed door romance.

This was such a good book! The characters were created so well and the writing was really good. It was engaging and I didn't get tried of it. The plot twist at the end really shocked me and I love how Kazi is such a girl boss.

It does include a little segment where abduction does occur along with injuries that can be a bit descriptive.

now this is an interesting one, it was a struggle to fully understand what the history was in the first 5 or so chapters of the book. i actually realized later on that there was whole trilogy that i should’ve read before this (but the covers are ugly so i won’t be doing that). however, the book was really good, the world building and characterization were fantastic and the writing was stellar. plus the angst and longing between the kazi and jase while constantly trying to deceive each other was enemies-to-lovers gold. its definitely one of the few ya fantasy books that i consider top tier.

This one almost got five stars from me. The writing is absolutely amazing in my opinion. I love the banter between the main characters and I also love their development a long the way. The only reason it didn’t get five stars was because I felt that there were too many things left unresolved. I know full and well there is a sequel but I just felt certain things could have been included in this novel instead of dragging it into the next one. I also felt the ending was a little out of nowhere like

in my opinion Kazi or Jase didn’t really portray that they still loved each other until the queen kind of played a hand in the situation, doing this felt them getting back together a little anti climatic to me so it was a tad frustrating

. I also absolutely loved the last chapter and how ominously it sets up the sequel!
