I had a hard time at first, because of Sylah’s addiction she just made me so angry most of the time 😂
But oh am I glad I stuck with it! The world building, the magic system, EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THIS BOOK WAS PERFECT!
Oh and the plot twistS 🧑🍳💋 yes with a “S” because I could honestly not fully keep track of everything! I’m sure I missed some very important details for the next book! But I’ll probably re-read it when my hard copy arrives ☺️
Can’t wait to dive into the second one! 🥰

Slow burn
It was slow going for the first half of the book. The plot finally getting traction didn’t make up for the lulls, in my opinion.
