4.5⭐️
2.5/5 🌶

Definitely was not expecting much from this novella, but so glad I read it! I loved the enemies ➡️ friends ➡️ lovers in this, and how we gradually get to see this relationship grow (I hate insta-love!).

Plot was exciting and very well written. I wasn't too shocked about the twists, but still ended up pleasantly surprised at the end. FMC has great growth here (we ❤️ a strong female) with her journey being not only physical but also struggles mentally. MMC was everything you want in a broody, grumpy sunshine.

Overall, happy about this choice. Onto the next!

A deadly and passionate story built on lies and deception. Carissa weaves magical tales with fantastical creatures and unforgiving foes. An automatic buy author for me.

This book had a very slow hook to it: it was hard for me to be interested enough to keep reading. Seems like I previously paused my reading just before things got interesting, though, since now I enjoyed the book well enough. 😅

I much prefer this Broadbent's standalone novel to her fantasy series, where I've enjoyed the first book just to be agonized to find the characters

in an even more perilous

situation in the prequel. I don't thrive in reading about constant suffering, and even though this book had plenty of that, there were enough lighter moments to balance them out. With this standalone, I can be happy that these characters have had their adventure (

even though they are promised to have an appearance in the Crowns of Nyaxia series

) and I'm content with how things turned out for them.

Previous DNF review:

I consider this book paused: I'll continue it some day (I bought it, so might as well), but seems that day isn't near yet. It has already been sitting unopened a couple of months since I first picked it up, so it can wait more. Maybe I'll be in the mood for this later.
