I haven’t read any fantasy in a hot minute but I think this was a good one to read to get me back into it! I like how after the first 20 pages or so I was able to fully comprehend the fantasy world without much effort. I also love a dual POV and an enemies to lovers trope (also lowkey has the forbidden lovers thing)! 

It was definitely a slow burn romance wise. I think the book had a pretty good pace, maybe a little slow at some parts but not too bad. 

Honestly the thing that annoyed me the most was how the FMM being constantly described as an untouchable warrior but like we see she makes mistakes that seem a little obvious… maybe she blinded by love though so who am I to judge. 

Overall I liked Jase’s character a lot and hearing the history of his family was VERY interesting I almost wish there was a book on that! Kazi was also likable and gave me Inej vibes form Six of Crows (except Inej is actually untouchable lmao). I’ll be interested to see what happens with them in the second book.

Forgettable. Disappointing. A Wattpad romance deceivingly marketed as dark academia.

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.
