omg at the beginning i wasn't really feeling it you know idk what it is about firsts books and the first time in this new world that makes it a little harder to fully get into but as soon as i understand the world a little bit and get more scenes and all, it does get better and it gets so so intriguing too ugh! loved how fae is like folklore and they're ancient or so they thought and there's a lot of violence too and elise might not be like other girls but i love her she's so fearless but has a heart of gold!! legion was also pretty good and their banter was definitely bantering and i was kinda intrigued to know more about him damn wasn't expecting that but so good and there's plot twists that make me want to never stop reading the book so that's good the writing was fun too!! i really liked siv, after all yeah i like her, I like halvar he's fun and tor is a little bit more mysterious but i liked him too!! mattis was a fave for sure, since the first scene i knew he could be a fave side character i need more of him and tbh i saw something between siv and him that i need the author to explore or you know wish she could explore who knows i need to keep reading!! and i knew i shouldn't trust her sister god i really don't like her and after that?? yeah i hate her!
definitely will continue i can see myself be obsessed with this series and the world and these characters and im ready to know more and get more of fae and their magic and politics and all, so ready to continue and i need elise back with legion!! but ok this one isn't a five stars, it could be i mean it's the first book in a totally different series and world and new author for me so sometimes it isn't the best one and for me it gets harder to get into at first but i ended up loving it and definitely see myself again like i said be obsessed with this and the characters and the world so yeah but also it's not more than 4 because i feel like the romance wasn't as slow as i could like i love my fantasy couple to you know have moments together and getting emotional attacked and legion and elise have that but also wanted them to not care that deeply for each other that fast you know? not to spoil it but they have such a good banter and legion isn't what elise expected at all and elise isn't at all what legion expected either so they connect and they respect each other and pass a lot of time together you know you see the development but i idk i needed more longing and more secret moments eye contact idk just not right at the end the three little words but overall i do love them and they have so much potential I NEED THEM BACK and legion what a man indeed so four stars isn't bad it's really good and im definitely going to continue and so excited to meet new characters too so let's go another series to be obsessed ehehe
