korrinstar's review against another edition

Nothing makes sense and everyone is insufferable. The "plot twists" are painfully obvious and there is absolutely no chemistry between Kiva and Jaren.

There were a lot of anachronisms in this book which made it hard to be fully immersed. I finished mostly for the budding romance. I was pretty disappointed with the ending, as it didn't really like up with the rest of the character motivations throughout, but the "big reveals" leading up to the end we're things that were pretty easy to guess early on. Still, it was a mostly enjoyable read. The only part that was really upsetting was the trial by fire.

This is an amazing book. The setting felt unique and darker than I was expecting for a YA book, but I was here for the atmosphere.

I loved the characters and how they dealt with the mystery and challenges that they find themselves in.
By time I got to the end of the book I was so happy that I already had the sequel. The ending left my mouth agape and me reaching immediately for the sequel.
