"I won't let your ignorance silence my pain."

1. Please read the authors note, if you've read the story. 
2. This was fascinating, the story and it's characters took so many turns in their character development. It all made sense though. There was a lot of hurt and grief in a few days storyline. The characters also had noticeable trauma, and all handled it differently, which is very good writing, because I've also read books where that was completely disregarded. So all in all worth the read, I think it's better to read it not spread out over months though. 
3. Crooked Kingdom vibes at times.

The writing in this book was so intriguing and the plot was fascinating! However, the one couple that was created as a enemies to lovers type thing was mostly annoying and I couldn’t see any chemistry between them. Despite that, this book had an amazing end and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

a very intricate book, but the instalove and the fact it took me four years to finally read it, kinda ruined it.

The romance with Inan and Zeylie lost me a bit and Inan in general was a little all over the place. I felt like he changed his mind too quickly and could not really follow his logic ever. Maybe you weren't supposed to be able to but there were a few moments where I was so confused I thought maybe I had skipped over something. However that was fairly minor to me. His overarching story made sense and I think he was always going to want to kill magic. He just had too much abuse to overcome. Overall I really liked this book and loved the characters, especially Amari, I'm dying to know what her power is!! The magic system is super cool and I love that the main character has a more "creepy" power. I thought it was really well written and also Bahni Turpin did an amazing job performing the book. I knew whose chapter it was without even having to hear the title.
