A dazzling and mystical debut by Sophie Kim, depicted a story full of tragic past, dangerous deals and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance.

Where can I find more books like this? Last of the Talons ticks all the boxes I love in a fantasy book-world. It is a fast paced with captivating writing that I pulled me in. I was begging for more each time I finished a chapter that I didn't even notice it was 2 am in the morning 😂 I had to force myself to sleep or else I'm gonna be a zombie from reading this incessantly.

Let's talk about the Lina, our badass yet feral assasins who was trapped in between saving her sister or beheaded her enemy where they controlled her freedom. She was such a strong girl, despite her dark thoughts and past that still haunt her. Her pain is so intense I could sense a hint of it. And after the Dokkaebi situation, Lina found herself stumbling upon different fates and she did what she needed to be done, no matter the consequences, so that her little sister's life could be guaranteed.
