I received an eARC of this on Netgalley; all opinions are my own.
DNF at 30%
There are waaayyyy too many exclamation points. At one point, there was an "Ah!" ... why is there an exclamation point after that? WHY?

Thank you NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
I am really conflicted about this one. I am a really visual reader and I love trying to construct the world in my head as I read…but I really struggled to visualise the world and characters in this book. I also found parts of the story convoluted, and some of the names just made me cringe.
Having said that, I love the slow burn romance, the two main characters are very likeable, and there have been some good creative choices in the types of magic and villains that are portrayed.
I did NOT realise this was going to be such a cliffhanger. And I’m not sure I’m invested enough to keep going. This one was just okay for me.

Enjoyable but predictable. I hate the miscommunication trope, and I also hate when characters are wilfully stupid. However, there is some surprising character depth here, especially as described between Faraine and her sisters.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book before its UK release to review.
I’m not going to pretend that I was head over heels with this book after reading most of it in one sitting, because unfortunately I wasn’t. The plot’s pacing was all over the place, it was hard to tell how much time passed and this felt unfinished, like there should have been a more solid conclusion. I was incredibly confused about why characters were acting certain ways towards the end and then it felt like a cheap “he had been poisoned/was under a spell” bone was thrown to us as an explanation.
It was mentioned near the start that two of the characters were siblings and on page 22 we were given the dreaded “sis” nickname twice, which always feels awkward and unrealistic. We then basically never saw those siblings interact again, even when they were in the same place.
I went into this book genuinely wanting to like it, it had been on my TBR for a while, but I felt let down a bit so won’t be continuing with this series.
