3.0
Definitely an enjoyable read but not the best or most original book out there. If you read the synopsis you can pretty much guess what’s going to happen throughout the book with little to no surprises thrown in. The romance felt very instalovey, and some of the characters felt really one dimensional. The king and queen of Lera for example felt very back and white and didn’t have much depth besides being the main villain in Em’s narrative.
The world building was pretty nonexistent sadly. We get mentions of other countries but not much information besides the basics. I don’t feel like I know the world besides the fact that the walls of the castle are all a different color. I also wish we got more information on the ruined because I feel like I don’t understand anything about them other than the fact they have powers and markings on their body that show that they have powers.
Still plan on continuing to see what happens but there’s definitely similar books with a similar idea that have a better plot and that I can get behind the characters and romance a little more
