Ava & Roman are such a good (fr)enemies to lovers romance and seeing them get over their differences & find their way toward eachother was so beautiful.
The magic system and the competition was so creepy & strange and it just kept getting more dark — and I loved it!
I wish this had been a duology instead because at the end, the final facedown was a bit rushed and I would've loved to see more exploration of the main antagonists & their history but still a great read!

There’s a brief mention where it’s suggested a man is attempting to take advantage of a woman sexually but the attempt is stopped by characters.lannke8's review against another edition
