This was actually not my taste. The main idea and world are fine, but the "secrets revealed and the way the author did it.... not for me.

I was recommended this book, and I'm glad I read it. It was pretty good and worth the time I put into it.

I really liked this book. Córdova’s writing style kept me on my toes, wondering what would happen next. The characters were diverse, almost all of them being POC, and I liked how Córdova incorporated a lot of her roots in the book, like how a lot of the world-building words were Spanish-based. The plot was amazing, and it kind of reminded me of Throne of Glass in a way, so if you liked that book, I’m sure you’d like this one. The plot twists, especially the one at the end, were ones that I didn’t see coming at all. The beginning of the book was a little slower but after about 50 pages, I got into it, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I can’t wait to read the second one.

A bit of a slow start, but trust me, stick with it and you’ll love it! Genuinely really loved it despite the slow pace at first, definitely one of my favorite fantasy books now

The book started slow, but once she ended up in the castle I started to enjoy it. The last twist about Dez and Castian being siblings didn't make the most sense but most the twists were pretty cool
