I'm not sure how many stars to give this... The story, plot, and the whole Other world this takes place in is great. But the amount of bullying, shaming, sexism, and cruelty is just too much for me. I won't be able to continue the series.

“We were alone against the Heirs. And I was beginning to think we were destined to fall at their mercy.”


Yes, I am doing a complete reread of this series now that the last book is out. Am I a masochist? maybe.

Anyway…this series is very easy to read. It’s not very complicated in regards to plot of characters at present. I will note that in the beginning going from mortal worlds to solaria is very fast and I do think it could have been done better. I’m not the biggest fan of characters just coming straight into power and being able to use it straight away, but that is personal preference I guess.

It is very big bullying in this so if that’s not your thing steer clear. In saying that, I enjoy the enemy aspect and the tension between the twins and other characters. 

I will say that it is mostly for the vibe type of read. You’ll either love it or you’ll hate I’ve found when talking with others.

But in saying that, i found this one to be okay. I know I like the other books so of course I will continue reading.

Check TWs and CWs
Happy reading 🤍
