I’m not sure why I took so long to read it, but now I’m hooked and I’m not letting go. I could do without the end fight, I’d rather the king lived and our two mcs joined together happily in love but I GUESS, I’ll go for some drama. I just hope its a one time thing.

THIS BOOK.
PLEASE JUST READ IT
This is like if the Hunger Games meets ACOMAF meets Folk of Air trilogy meets Fourth Wing.
My favourite book I have read this year.
The worldbuilding was developed and understandable, the characters actually had a personality and development, and the ending!!!!!!!!!!
This is my Roman Empire book (a book I think about multiple times per day <3)
Words cannot describe how much I love this book!
If you catch me grinning and staring off into space, it's just me recalling a quote from this book (:
It was the perfect blend of romance, fantasy and competitive games.
This is a book you need to read before you die~

I loved this fantasy with romance. The pace was brilliant, the scene setting was great, and I loved the plot & characters.

The only reason it’s not a 5 star is that I would have loved a bit more background on the different houses & magic systems but it is in no way lacking and doesn’t confuse the story!

I love Oraya and her story, I love the enemies to lovers trope and chosen one trope too! The challenges faced by her were cruel and relentless and I loved reading about a feisty human woman fighting against the odds!

The ending was brilliant and I can’t wait to start book 2!

This book was better than I thought it would be. 🌶🌶, but only one scene.
