This book grabbed me from the very first line, and never let me go. No really Nisha outdid herself with that line. 

Lor is a prisoner, filled with rage, and thoughts of revenge that often get her thrown into solitary confinement. Every day is a fight just to survive, that is until her world gets turned upside down and she is thrust into a deadly competition. Everyone has been training their entire lives for this, except Lor, the only human amongst fae. 

lam not joking when I tell you that I loved this book from the moment I picked it up. I had to force myself to put it down so I could follow through with my responsibilities. Lor was such a relatable main character, she had experiences, she had feelings, and she had strong will and an attitude to back it up. 

Everyone of Lor's relationships leave you hungry for more, wanting to know what is going to happen next. 

The magic system in this book is unquestionably unique, and I am excited to learn more about the fae kingdoms and how they came to be so separated. 

This book was such an easy and enjoyable read for me, and the only thing that left me disappointed was the fact that I finished it. I'm ready for the next book. If you loved A Court of Thorns and Roses, if you read The Hunger Games as obsessively as I did as a teenager you will devour this book as quickly as I did. 

Thank you to NetGalley, Nisha J Tuli, and the publisher for the e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
