oh wow. this book yall. WOW.

Lauren Roberts...this is your DEBUT NOVEL??? EXCUSE ME!? she is so talented.

This book was so addicting. When i had to stop reading, i was thinking about when i could read it again. I loved the friendship between Pae and Adena. they were truly sisters.

KAI AND PAE's BANTER AND TENSION?? oooo yea i ate the UP. i did NOT expect this book to end the way it did, which i really liked because sometimes fantasies get a little repetitive.

I am forever thinking about Kai. He has set the bar WAY high you guys.

anyway, this is one of my new fav books, I will be not patiently waiting for the next one:)

I really enjoyed this book - it definitely gripped me and I’ll be continuing the series. It’s definitely more YA. I really love Kai! Don’t love Pae as much. I also feel like both lacked growth throughout the book it was kind of just the same angst at every turn. But I enjoyed the plot and the characters nonetheless. Hoping there is more character development in the next book!

4.5⭐️
Wow is all I have to say, I haven’t read a book like this in a while - just hope Lauren can work some absolute magic so Kai and Pae end up together cause that ending was soul crushing
-.5 because it was slightly too long for me and I can’t decide if I loved or hated the ending lol
