5.0

This Book was so epic, I first found out about it on Lauren's Instagram and was hooked by one thing, how the magic in this world is earned instead of you being born with power and I thought that was such a cool idea so I gave the book a try and boy was my mind blown, the writing is amazing, I was never bored in any chapter I wasn't lost with the information given unless it was directly held back from both the MC and us the reader, you'll fall in love with the characters and read with bated breath hoping they're okay.


Spoilers beyond this point just warning ⚠️

At first I was confused as to what the main character was, a Boy or girl until a few pages later but Lysta was such a great character, you understood her faults and understood when at first she seemed reluctant to help the "girl" in the alleyway cause everyone is in danger and she had someone relying on her to get back Torryn on the other hand I obviously didn't know he was Torryn in the beginning since he was disguised as Ardis but I was not very trusting of him in the beginning, but as we read the book sometimes you get to know him more he's got an interesting past which is probably why he's the way he is now, I love Sar and I don't think I did not not trust her once she was so sweet from the beginning a little mistrusting of Lysta which is to be expected since she wasn't expecting her, and the actual Ardis who was very charming and alot happier than how Torryn acted, I loved the dynamic of the Courts having different outcomes of the trials and however you completed the trial was how your power was determined, when Evander got introduced I was meh about him for awhile and than Torryn had to tell Lysta to not trust anyone and that had me have trust issues through the whole book, when he was getting close to Lysta I was trying to be okay with it but for two reasons i didnt want him with her, one i liked Torryn better and two i didnt rrally trust Evander too much and then when it got revealed that he was on a different side and backstabbed Lysta I was like aaaaaaaaaaah

overall such a good book and I'm so so so so excited for when Lauren gets to be able to release the second book
