I know a lot of people really love this series, but I don't think it was really my cup of tea. It definitely gives me ACOTAR vibes, though, so I can see why it is so popular on social media. I just wasn't necessarily ready for the spice level, and it wasn't really what I was looking for. But I still had to know how the entire series was going to end.

I will say, Maniscalco took this in some directions I wasn't necessarily expecting, which is refreshing! There's a little bit of mythology thrown into this fantasy world, and I enjoyed those aspects of the story. The world building was very well done, even if I found the characters annoying sometimes.

All in all, I'm glad I read it so I know what I'm recommending when at work, but probably not one that I would visit it again.
