So first of all- I need to read book two immediately. The ending. What? WHAT? 

Fans of The Cruel Prince will LOVE this book. Confirmed. As I am now a fan of both. 
You've got it all; Fae, Magical Creatures, Enemies to Lovers, Ancient Magic, A TRIAL. 
It's all very fast-paced but no way takes away from the story. I honestly flew through this book in one sitting. 

Let's talk about Castiel. I never LOVE the bully trope but I'm always up for the redemption arc, okay? 
Also this is literally addressed throughout the story, so it isn't just glossed over. Cue quote:
It’s hard to remember he’s cruel when he looks the way he does. I hate it.
Gurl. Same. Saaaaaaame. 

I also need to smack another quote here for Castiel too because. Well. Read it. 
“I am obsessed with Astrid.” My jaw drops. My heart stops. I blink hard, tempted to rub my eyes or clear out my ears. Something is wrong. Someone is playing a trick on us—on me. This can’t be real. “I have been since the day I heard her name and who she is,” he continues. His blue eyes are trained on the Vorukael and his smoky shadows. Castiel refuses to look at me, even as I stare at him with disbelief. “It only got worse when I saw her for the first time.” “What?” They both ignore me. The Vorukael looks at him expectantly, waiting for more. Gleeful. “It might be love, but I’m not sure. I don’t know what love is or what it’s like. I know enough about obsession to recognize I am obsessed with her. Against my every wish, against my own logic and mind, against every fiber of my being, I am deeply and wildly obsessed with Astrid Vanaguard.”
Well Castiel, now I'm obsessed with you. God DAMN. 

Astrid is a strong FMC and I loved how badass she was throughout. We love an independent girly. Obviously I know Castiel had a hand in healing her and let's not forget ROWAN. I love him and I want one. A realm-walking loveable wolf. Ugh. So cute. So precious. So vicious. 

Basically I'm reading book two immediately. Byeeeeeee.
