Overall a good read. The ending definitely blew me away. I do like a little more character buildup and plot details.

Spice is minimal, but interesting. Ppl are comparing it to ACOTAR when they shouldn’t.

Can have cheesy movements, luckily I love cheese.

Firstly I would like to thank Jaclyn Kot for sending me an eArc of her debut novel.
I was absolutely invested in this book from the very first chapter. The banter, the politics and the magic system was very intriguing. Jaclyn did an awesome job of having me hooked the entire way through, especially with those plot twists and the suspense. The worldbuilding is beautiful and fascinating, I liked how it wasn't all shoved in your face, you were given bits and pieces throughout the story.
The slow burn romance with a hint of spice between Sage the quirky, funny and relatable female, and Von the broody, territorial tattooed male I wanted more.
I also have a soft spot for the morally grey love interest that screams 'touch her and you die' vibes.
I will definitely recommend this book. I'm hyped for the 2nd book as that ending!!
