This witchy enemies to lovers is surprisingly complex. The FMC is young, but I found her decisions relatable. Haven't we all been more interested in the one that will destroy us, rather than the one who will save us?  Most of the cast have traumatic back stories, and I found it hard to know who to root for. Maybe some plot holes or easy outs near the end. Overall, I am excited to finish the duology.
