Thank you to Harper Voyager UK & Netgalley for the opportunity to review this ARC. 

What a great book! I’d heard a lot about this book before reading & I was so excited to start. 

Although the competition plot isn’t the most original, the world building is fantastic! The world built is so rich & beautifully layered. I loved the bits of history we were given & everything was written in a way that it was all seamlessly inserted into the story without making it seem dull or lengthy.

Sylah & Anoor were both wonderfully in depth, complex characters. Everyone loves an underdog & both embodied that in such different ways. The way their relationship  blossomed felt so natural & not at all forced, I was rooting for them from quite early on & that bittersweet ending was just perfect!

And what an ending! Cannot wait for the second instalment!
