5 stars! 

I read this book for the "Friend pick prompt" for Era's Readathon hosted by thewordn3rd! A few weeks ago my really good friend who knows my reading tastes pretty well gave me a list of 5 books to choose for this prompt! I read the synopsis for this book and it instantly caught my attention! 

I really didn't know what to expect from this book going in. In a lot of ways I went in blind and I'm kind of glad I did because it made the explanations so much more magical in the end. I was curious about these characters throughout this story. There are a lot of layers to this one and I enjoyed exploring each one. I really enjoyed finding out who each character is and a little bit about their history! 

It was a very engaging story and I feel like I learned so much in the last quarter! But I want to know more! These characters can't be dead! I loved the world building, magical elements, and not knowing who to trust! 

I definitely want to continue this series in 2024!
