A woman befriends the woman who will be taken by the wizard, only he takes her instead. She's mad at him for taking her and also mad at him for not taking the other girl.

I like how they handled the

conflict resolution

at the end. It was a very realistic approach to what happens in my opinion

after war if you want their to be peace and not just a pause in the physical conflict

I adore this book so much. I really liked the mature fairy tale vibes it gives. I found the characters to be well developed, interesting, and lovable, though, I would classify this as a plot-driven story mainly. The writing style is stellar. It uniquely balances the line between easy-to-read and what I consider more 'classic' fantasy prose. I got super sucked in. Loved the world building, loved the dynamics between the characters, and loved the ending!

It reminded me of an adult version of Hannah Whitten’s “For the Wolf,” but I did find that book more enjoyable. 

It’s clear Nokik is a talented writer, her descriptions are lovely and evocative. However, I was uncomfortable with the attempted sexual assault near the beginning of the book and couldn’t really move past that since it was unnecessary to the plot. 

Her characters were well written but were boring and took their sweet time to do anything.

Although I was unprepared for the amount of fighting and gore of this book, it was one of the best fantasy adventures with a splash of spice and romance I've ever read. I'd recommend this to all fantasy adventure lovers!
