Vesselless (Book #1 of the Merciless Realms series) was SUCH A GOOD TIME! I genuinely don’t even know where to begin in this review. There were so many aspects to this book that had me on the edge of my seat, giggling and screaming (I probably sounded crazy). When I say I devoured this book, I absolutely did and did NOT want this book to end. The tension and banter between our FMC and MMC was just top tier, and the overall storyline was such a fun follow through. I loved the concepts of spirits and the magic system was so intriguing and unique. Overall, I seriously cannot recommend this book enough and NEED the second one as soon as possible.
