ARC Review
I really enjoyed this book. The magic system, the trials, the characters. This book immersed me into the story from the very first chapter. Rose satisfies the badass fmc trope perfectly, with her innovation with perfecting her magic. I love her fierce determination to protect those she loves especially her family and then Leo. Leo is of course our broody male, who turns out to be a big softie, doing anything for his sister and rose, not like they need any protecting because they both know how to handle themselves.
I loved the banter between Leo and Rose, the little tit for tat really kept it cute and entertaining between them. That plot twist was so dread though, because this entire time the emperor was painted as bad and wouldn't you believe he actually was bad, you'll just have to read to find out why I was shocked. He's Chat History Evil Kings worthy.
