4.0

A great first book to kick off a series, very engaging from the start. The love triangle had so much potential, but I feel like it wasn’t explored enough, though I suppose there’s still plenty of time in the series left to flesh it out. If someone only wants to read this book for the romance, they’d be disappointed, since not much happens aside from like two scenes with just a kiss. Overall, this book does a great job setting up a really dynamic and interesting plot web for the next few books to explore. I’m already starting the next one!

I liked this book! It was entertaining & really easy to read. I will say that I never really expected Nehemiah to have anything to do with the murders & I suspected it was Cain the entire time. I’m not sure if that aspect was supposed to be a plot twist but if so, it was a little disappointing that it was that obvious. Regardless, I enjoyed this book!

Some of the romantic and playful interests are a bit juvenile and the treatment of royalty is not entirely expected, but the relationships formed and the adventure is carefully placed in short chapters, making much of it easily digestible.

The first book I read in the TOG series. So much fun and always such loveable characters. I'm so excited to see where this story goes.

A solid fantasy debut that is mainly consistent with its worldbuilding, although some of the characters' choices feel inconsistent.

Does a great job of introducing its characters and setting the scene for the saga ahead.

this was a good book, it had everything in it that i love, romance, mystery, adventure and more.
The only i didn't like about it was how it randomly changed perspective and didn't tell who's it was. Some of the characters were really irritating, and being really oblvious. Besides that this was a good book.
