by Carissa Broadbent

tense
medium-paced

Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
This was the first fantasy book I’ve thoroughly enjoyed in a long time - and wow, it was worth it!
The characters are absolutely top tier. Their banter, their dynamics, and the way they worked together were just perfect. Oraya is a fantastic FMC, and Raihn is hands - down one of the best fantasy MMCs I’ve read in ages. I also have to shout out Mische - such a great character!
The atmosphere was incredible. I genuinely felt like I was within the walls of the Moon Palace alongside them. The writing was easy to read and enjoyable; yes, a little repetitive at times, but never enough to pull me out of the story. It stayed informative and always relevant to the world and characters.
And the plot? Brilliant. The twists were even better! Some I thought I had figured out...👀 but I was wrong, and I loved being surprised. One twist had me literally gasping out loud 😂
Once I picked it up, I couldn’t put it down. It held just the right balance of explanation and mystery to keep me hooked all the way through. This is easily on its way to becoming a new favourite of mine! 🫢
