Another book that I had been putting off for a good while, but damn am I glad to have finally picked it up! The characters, plot, twists, magic, and tension - all fantastic!!
The world it’s set it in was a bit confusing to understand in the beginning because it’s setting is like France but not France if that makes sense ? But I did love the world building! And I really enjoyed how the magic was set out in this one too - everything comes at a cost, balance is always needed.
The characters! Lou is such a strong fmc, I absolutely loved her! She does everything she can to survive, and was clever and witty - just overall a great character to read. And Reid!! On the list of book boyfriends he goes. He was the sweetest - though stubborn at times with his beliefs, but damn was he great. The banter between these two was done to perfection, absolutely lived for it! And the side characters were also just as well done!
The story line and twists?? Holy crap!! I enjoyed every step of this ride - the twists and turns at the end were done so well. A couple I sort of guess but there was a whole ton of ones that had me gobsmacked!! Absolutely fantastic.
I cannot wait to see what the rest of the trilogy holds!!

Miluju to! Postavy, námět, zápletku, začátek, konec i prostředek. Náramně jsem se u toho bavila. Těšila jsem se na každé další škádlení mezi Lou a Reidem. Na každý další jejich rozhovor.
O této knize jsem věděla jediné. Je tam nějaká čarodějnice a lovec čarodějnic, tím pádem už z toho vyplývá romantická linka. To bylo všechno. A i tak mě to totálně dostalo. Jasně, najdete tam spoustu klišé a pro někoho to bude to samé dokola, ale mně se právě takové příběhy líbí. A když se chystám číst nějakou knížku, očekávám, že mě přesně takhle pobaví, že si to čtení budu přesně takhle užívat a zapomenu na chvilku na ten opravdový svět.
A jen tak pro zajímavost. Měla jsem v poznámkách u čtení napsáno Jiskra v popelu. A teď už si za boha nemůžu vzpomenout proč. Možná mi ji trochu připomínala? Netuším, ale měla bych ty poznámky psát trochu konkrétněji, když se na to tak dívám.
A ten nejlepší vzkaz na konec? Jděte do toho. Nebudete litovat. Užijte si to. Zapomeňte na realitu a na klišé. Holubice a had za to vážně stojí.

3.5 Stars. I completely fell into this book and couldn’t not put it down, it is such an accessible and addictive read. Lou has some fun comebacks throughout the book and I liked her slow burn romance. The magic system was very interesting, it was fun to see that there had to be balance in performing magic (similar to ‘an eye for an eye’). However, the plot was very predictable as it pulled strongly from well used tropes, meaning that nothing shocking or surprising happened.

Absolutely loved this book , it very slow burn between the two main characters: Reid and Louise. Which the book does an excellent job of showing both viewpoint throughout the book. It made me invested in the story.
The one downside is the magic system isn't explained. Which can make it confusing sometime. Apart from this, I would definitely reccomend.
