This book is a debut, as can be seen by the writing style and grammatical errors throughout. The storytelling is not as immersive as I would like it because it felt like I was being told what was happening rather than being allowed to experience it.
That being said, this did not stop me from reading because the ideas brought forth were quite compelling. I was quickly hooked by the storyline.
The plot unfolds nicely; the reader is not left confused. There is a good amount of suspense throughout and I have my suspicions about what will come of book 2, which I will be reading. The author is able to capture attention.
The things that I really enjoyed were the multiverse vibes (more of a duo-universe) - certain beings being able to go from our world into a veiled world accessible only to them. The love interest was good - the intense attraction of soulmates. I also liked the resurrection aspect of the two royals in the book.
The title is fitting, as there is much conflict - the battle between light and dark being one. I am quite curious as to how things will play out in book 2.
I was gifted a copy of the book and leave my honest opinions voluntarily.
