Big thanks to @sagapress #sagasaycrew and @thechloegong for the amazing book gift!

I was completely captivated by this book, a modern retelling of Antony and Cleopatra. The relentless action and suspense had me hooked from start to finish. I opted to read the book while simultaneously listening to the audiobook, and the combination truly brought the characters to life. The magic system, allowing characters to inhabit different bodies, was incredibly fascinating. The vivid depiction of life in the twin cities of San-Er, the scarcity of food, and the political tensions added an extra layer of depth to the story. Calla's unwavering determination to overthrow the king and her complex dynamics with August and Anton kept me guessing right until the end. The conclusion left me yearning to discover what lies ahead for Calla. 

I absolutely recommend this book to anyone seeking a thrilling and fast-paced read. And to top it off, the sequel, Vilest Things, is set for release on September 10th.
