Really good fantasy book that kept me hooked right from the beginning. Loved how everything was described and immediately loved esch character. Lots of plot twists BUT some are guessed from either a mile off or a few pages before the plot twist was revealed (hence why I didn't give this a full 5 star rating).
Lots of mysteries in this book which is what made it hard for me to stop reading. Good ending and I can't wait to read the next book!

The ending of this book read like a bad soap opera. There were way too many plot twists and, I’m sorry, but I’m so done with the secret twin twist. The beginning and middle of this book were excruciatingly slow, and only like one thing happened during the first 200 pages. I only stuck with it because the whole time as currency seemed interesting. This just wasn’t for me. 2.75⭐️

I greatly enjoyed this book, but I feel that the author fell too deeply into stereotypes. However, I do have to say that I was not expecting the plot twist at the very end.
Loved the character development, loved the idea, but feel that it wasn’t executed as well as it could have been.
