 It took me a little bit to get into it, but by the 100 page mark I was committed to finishing today. I've never read this book before, but it gave me nostalgia as it very much reads like a fantasy middle grade book from 2012, and I mean that in a good way. This was a fun book, and I look forward to when I can pick up a copy of the next book.

ORPHAN TO PRINCE! READ IT!!!
This book was incredibly intriguing and kept me engaged the entire time I read it! I could hardly put it down! The plot twist was unexpected and a wonderful addition to this already amazing work! Highly recommend!

Despite all the things I chose above the content and way it is portraided would still have me recommending it for 10+.

This was a pleasant surprise. It's perfect if you like books like the maze runner. It reminds me of a lot of fantasy books that are popular right now without over done the magic system.

adventurous funny mysterious

4.25

Wow. That was pretty epic. Sage was awesome. How smart is this fifteen year old??? Like, he’s pretty genius. And very entertaining and funny. 😂

I loved Imogen and really hope she stays for this series. I ship her and Sage. I’m not sure if should at this point… let’s hope I don’t get crushed.😅😂

The plot was epic. And I LOVED the plot twists. I thought I had it figured out. Nope, not quite. I was on the edge of my seat for sure. It was pretty fast-paced and a quick read! 

Also it was clean which I was a HUGE fan of it!

Anyways, this book was really, really good and I’m still debating whether it’s 4 or 5 star for me. I am excited to continue the series ASAP!
