OFFICIALLY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FANTASY BOOKS I’VE EVER READ!! 5/5⭐️

I knew walking into this that it would be good but I wasn’t expecting it to be a masterpiece.

I think Dianna is my favourite fmc ever. This woman was top tier, she could do no wrong in my eyes. The morally grey aspect of her was written to perfection, it didn’t feel forced, she had a genuine backstory and a reason to her actions.

Liam also took me by such surprise. I didn’t think I’d love him as much as I did. He had such a hard, grumpy exterior but really he was broken inside and Dianna finally started to heal him. Their romance felt so genuine and real. Enemies to friends to lovers, executed perfectly.

That ending has ripped my heart out, I can’t wait to see what the next book brings.

Overall, this deserves 1000 times more hype than it’s getting. I will not be shutting up about it anytime soon.

4 stars ⭐️ this is a slow burn and true enemies to lovers!!! ate this shit up although i did fuckin hate dianna in the beginning like i get the whole self torment and stuff but gorl pls sometimes it’s too much and liam was a lil too depressed but i guess when u literally wipe out a planet i can see how that would have that effect on u. i will say the first part was super slow but it picked up immensely at like 35-45% but i loved it and will sefer be reading the other books in the series
