4.08 AVERAGE


The plot twists, the ending? Oh my god, I love Kylie Lee Bakers writing so much, I knew I would love this after reading The Keeper of the Night series, but this blew me away even more. I'm so excited to read book 2!

i spent like at least 40% of this book being like wait this could be the sequel but like i sure didn’t expect the ending to go that way so you got me there

I feel a little bad about not finishing this one, because it was an interesting setup and the characters are fun. However, there were also a number of niggling dissatisfactions - with the pacing and the focus and the way things seemed to be developing - that meant the lure of other books was far stronger. Onwards.

i loved this book. i love the style of writing, this was so well researched you could totally immerse yourself into the world and the elemental/blood magic was so well done and seemed unique. Zilan's journey throughout this book had me in such suspense, i cannot wait to read the second book.
