What a cute book. It’s a YA coming of age but with an orphan hero. There are demons and sorcery. It was interesting that this hero saves the whole world with the help of her love interest. It’s mostly a hero’s journey. Not much romance. But still interesting.

my goodness, nathaniel and elisabeth are so tender and sweet 🥹🩵 and silas has such a soft spot under his stoic exterior 
my only nitpick about this book was that i thought the resolution was a little too easy. nevertheless, i loved this book

5.0

This is a book that I've wanted to read for ages, especially after loving Margaret Rogerson's first book so much, but I've been putting it off because I feared I wouldn't like it as much as her debut novel or that it wouldn't live up the hype surrounding it. But I am glad that I did read because I loved it. 
It's such a good book. 
It has magical books, sorcery, demons and a girl that wields a sword. For me that's a perfect mix of things I love to see in a story. Oh, and with a sprinkling of romance on top. 
Great book. Highly recommend.

4.25

I really loved/enjoyed this book, especially the majority of it. It was really fun and exciting and tense. I really couldn’t put this down and it surprised me that I read almost all of it in 5 days, which is a lot for me for a book this size. 

And the characters were really cool and I enjoyed there interactions, personalities, and banter. I would have loved to explore more about Katrien and even Silas. 

I found the ending a little confusing. I didn’t really understand what specifically Silas did/how he did it. And there were some things I questioned regarding the last act and stuff. I also took a little longer getting through the last 10-20% but I don’t think that really was the book - maybe just personal circumstances. 

And because of this little loss in momentum, I struggle to rate this book. But it’s more than 5 stars. But less than 4.5. When I was reading it (in the momentum bit), I remember thinking it was 4.3. So i suppose 4.25 will be fine :)
