This book is absolutely incredible. It may be, dare I say it, the perfect romantasy. I just couldn't put it down. It was so easy to just get lost in this book, and before you know it, it's over. That ending, though? Mean.
I really enjoyed the world building and magic system. It was a full and complete world without feeling so in-depth that you get confused. I love fantasy, but sometimes I have a hard time keeping things straight, but that's absolutely not a problem here. Nothing is thrown in just to be there. It all has a purpose.
Caspian and Ariella are fantastic. They're everything you want from a forbidden romance love. The spice was for sure spicing, but my favorite was their tension and banter. It felt like the perfect amount of slow burn because by the time they finally give in, you're just giddy. Ariella is definitely my favorite. I love a fmc that can handle her own shit. She definitely does that and then some.
I really truly love this book. I very quickly became obsessed. The wait for the next part will be torture.
