I got a bit grumbly with the lore dump at the beginning but I understand why it had to be done. It was neat seeing a SJM world that was so similar to our own with technology AND fantasy characters. I could also see little strings possibly tying this world to ACOTAR and that made me VERY intrigued about the possibilities of that in the future books!
It took me a good while to like Bryce, just like it took a while for Hunt to like her too. I too, was quite annoyed with her in the beginning, but as she revealed more about herself I understood why she acted the way they did.
Their love story was inevitable from the start and I really liked their banter BUT I feel like his utter and complete betrayal of Bryce’s trust near the end was kind of washed over in lieu of more important factors of the story. Like he was forgiven without even a conversation?!?! In my head I was like, “Hold up BB, I’m not done being mad at him yet!” But I guess him being sold into his worst nightmare and almost dying kind of repents him for it 🤷♀️
I kind of thought Ruhn was a loser at first, but I decided I adore him now and he must be protected at all costs.
Lehabah is a queen. May she rest in peace.
I’m excited to see what happens next! 🕺

This book had everything! Mystery, a bit of romance, and adventure. When I first started it, I wasn't too sure what to expect, but I loved every minute of it.
Bryce was such an amazing lead and I loved getting to know Hunt as well. The side characters also added so much to the book! I felt like the pacing of the book was actually so well done. I was never bored or waiting for something. I think the balance between the mystery and romance/character plot was perfect. Both Bryce and Hunt had so much in their lives that they needed to work through, and I loved seeing them begin to trust each other. Neither of them had a whole lot to live for, but together they found a reason!
I loved it all and I am happy with the ending. I feel like we could end it there if we wanted to, but I am still really excited to see where the rest of the series takes us. I fell in love with these characters and the storyline was so exciting. There were a lot of twists and turns throughout the whole book, and when I got towards the end I seriously couldn't put the book down! So well done, loved it!
