This book left a lot to be desired. The world and magic were barely explained, the writing was awkward, and the characters were hard to like. I found Vhalla especially annoying. She's supposed to be intelligent, yet she is constantly saying and doing the dumbest things. The love interest Aldrick was such an asshole; I couldn't stand him. There was a lot of telling and not much showing. Vhalla claims to be childhood friends with Sareem, yet they are hardly friendly towards each other. Whenever she was with him, she seemed to always want to get away. Also, Vhalla was weirdly racist. She mentioned multiple times how she thinks lighter skin tones are more attractive. There were so many grammatical errors that it was painful to read. The story had potential, but it needed a lot more refining. I'm curious to see if Kova's writing has improved in her more recent books.

Was this book super easy to read? Yup.
Was it fun? Oh ya.
Did I like the MC? NOPE
Did I enjoy this book. I think so?
World building was a little weak. There were a lot of questions had (yes it’s a series but…) never got answered. Trope-city but they were all of my favorites, so I was having fun.
I think if you want a fast and fun story this is it. If you want elaborate story telling and hate Reylo fanfiction, this is not for you.
It’s fun. It’s fast. And sometimes that’s all I want and I will be continuing.
