To be honest this book is the complete opposite of what I usually read action fantasy with a romance subplot. It’s was interesting to step out of my comfort zone. Considering I bought this book months ago and waited until after the sequel came out to read it I’m a bit disappointed. Ikenna is both overpowered and unlikeable the author really should’ve just picked one.
The way she treated Zayne (she was constantly gaslighting him and getting mad him for no reason) and Enoch and his sister (become she officially became a Praetorian) was so bitchy.
The plot was also pretty predictable. I wish the best for this author though, I probably won’t read the sequel unless it’s on sale for less than £1.
