Wow! This book was just amazing! I fell in love with everything about this story and these characters. I think Raeve might be my favourite FMC ever now. And Kaan…well Kaan is just the most 🖤🖤🖤 man ever! I can’t wait to see where this will all go with the next installment!

I will be picking up the sequel for sure. There were bits that I didn’t love and sometimes the MC really got on my nerves, but I do think she stayed true to her character arc even though I got frustrated with her at times. This book definitely is a gateway to an even bigger story, and has a lot of world building but I do think it was done pretty well. In the middle the pacing gets kind of weird but it does get better and it’s worth getting through that. I do wish the POVS were more evenly balanced but I think in the next book it’ll be easier to see from the other characters more. All in all, I would recommend this book!

Wow. This book was stunning. The world was lush and interesting. The characters were unforgettable. Kaan and Raeve. <3 The writing was artistic and stuffed with imagery. Emotionally raw. I loved it!

I felt the first half of the book had some significant pacing issues, but I was hooked in by the end!
