I’ve had this book sitting on my shelf for a year, on a whim I decided to read it, easily one of my top fantasy books this year.
I ate this book up in DAYS
Our FMC is witty, sassy, growing into her power, and I dare say, a GIRLS GIRL. I genuinely love Lore so much and am so excited to see where her character goes.
Bastian and Gabe are the perfect MCs to compliment a strong FMC, and WOOOOWEEEEEEE do we love a flirtatious prince and a religious man tempted by sin😮💨
The world building is immersive but nothing too heavy for those dipping their toes into fantasy.
It’s giving Cruel Prince level political intrigue, and the plot twists do not disappoint.

I enjoyed the religious overtones of this book, with experts of texts beginning each chapter.
I made a note of each time a character was explicitly described as white, which I count was at least 8 times. Only one other character was described otherwise. It felt awkward and overt to call out each time, especially with insignificant characters. There is no diversity in this book.

The plot of this book felt promising. The magic and world building did feel a bit different than other books I have read and I enjoyed that. What I was not expecting was having characters that felt flat and had no chemistry, bumbling through the plot line. Many of the plot twists were VERY easy to spot, and yet the characters were clueless throughout. No chemistry AND dumb. The best part of the book was like the last couple of chapters, because at least then some of the characters had the possibility of being interesting.
I just don't know. I feel like this book had potential but the execution was done poorly.
Plot- 3/5🔆
Spice- 0/5🌶️
Romance-0/5💗
