The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent
5.0
yeah, wow.
I've been putting this read off for quite some time now, and when I was recommended it I kinda shrugged it off in a "yeah I'll never get to it" kinda way. Then I saw it on Kindle Unlimited (hey, love u girl) and added it to the shelf. Now, going into this book, I had ZERO ideas on what it was even about. The blurb was skipped, and I hadn't seen it on TikTok with some crazy quote attached. This was fueled by pure hype and curiosity. Normally when starting a new fantasy book, I'm lost for the first 100+ pages of world-building, and just confusing names and titles. But NOT WITH THIS ONE. I was in deep after maybe 30 pages. The FMC is so satisfyingly GOATED, and the storyline felt like a breath of fresh air, it was so unique. This is one of the few books that I've read with the promise of "enemies to lovers", that ACTUALLY had some sort of enemies to lovers trope in it. Each plot point was satisfying, enjoyable, and made sense to the storyline, which is so so rare to see in fantasy books today. The ending had just enough surprise and heartbreak as I hoped and expected it to be, and it truly delivered the storyline of book #2 on a silver platter.
100% a 5/5, this was really REALLY good, so pumped for the next.
