I liked this more than I expected to! Jase and Kazi were a great couple. I loved how he continually pursued her and knew how he felt about her.

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.

Middle of the road. I felt like not much happened. Lots of enemies to lovers romance with hints at complex politics. Quick read, but not for me.
