Heart of Night and Fire by Nisha J Tuli is a fantasy worth reading. I had a hard time keeping everyone and their roles organized, but that did not take away from the story at all. I will definitely be diving into the second book.

All I can say is I had fun reading this. And sometimes that’s all that matters. 

Yes. Thank you!

The audiobook is so vibrant in its reading that the foods, characters and colours within the world building are magical and a big hook. The story is a little slow with momentum impart I guess because there is such detail provided for the world building but it certainly worth it, I couldn’t believe I was coming to the end so quickly and then discovering I have a fair few months until book two’s release.
All of the characters are interesting with their owns traits, powers, magic and how they fall within the books need for hem in the plot. Yasen is a favourite of mine and although he may not appear in much of the book Rabin is the most intriguing!
Zarya is an awesome female lead who is becoming a warrior and obviously a central component to the Greta mysteries and magic centred within this book. The first secrets to fall, about Zarya come right at the end although mostly probably already figured out by most it left me feeling a little rushed in closure but I am excited for book two!

I received the audio ARC and wanted to provide my honest review

This book started out giving me Tangled vibes - a girl locked up and kept a secret, stuck with books and her own magic, “keep you safe for your own good” vibes, and unknown parents. Of course, it doesn’t actually follow that storyline or else it’d be a Rapunzel retelling. I don’t know how to write the rest of this review without spoiling the book but let me just say I am IMMEDIATELY moving on to book #2.

Also, the food in this book? *chef’s kiss* I got so hungry while reading this book
