A entertaining and wonderful book. I’ve fallen in love with the world and it’s characters, and I can’t wait to read the next two books. I was not expecting the romance, but I feel like it did not impede the story in any way.

2.0

This book is irritatingly basic. There is no depth and no character growth. The name of the villain/love interest’s home is merely the product of lazy writing, and the plot itself is incredibly slow with little to know action.

4.0

This was a solid book. It had romance, it had magic, it was lighthearted at times, and serious in others.
It didn’t wow my socks off, but I did enjoy it.
Darius is lovely, and Lakira was sweet.
Nya was awesome and I enjoyed her a lot.
I do think the world building, especially at the start could’ve been much better, especially when describing the girl’s powers and the thief kingdom. I had to string the dots together on my own from what I guessed.
I also like how it doesn’t stray from some touchy subjects.
The audiobook narrators are awesome and I enjoyed it a lot!
