I received an ARC copy of this book by BookSirens, and I am leaving this honest review voluntarily.
Very easy and quick to read YA fantasy romance. No spice (fade to black).
I love how there are many feminist views in this book. Feels refreshing to read. We love a strong girlie.
I love how the world goes from dark and bland (biege literally a color for a huge event??) to very bright and intricate once she's out in Nymyria. The world building was good. I could imagine each scene that I read. The details were there but not overwhelming.
I can say that I feel like we didn't get enough character development out of some of the main characters. Just very vague. I know there are reasons behind why, but even some background characters are more developed than the features.
Fates area a fun creature to deal with. Very fae-like but not quite. But more than human. Neat magic.
I have to say, especially second half of the book, many ACOTAR vibes and alarms go off. If you're a fan but can do without spice this could be a book you love.

Before reading, there was a disclaimer about a cliffhanger. BUT THIS IS A BIG CLIFFHANGER. I NEED MORE.
