I binged this in one day. Absolutely loved. The magic was unique and so fun. The character arc and twists so creative. The story felt fresh with just enough world building. I’m blown away. I loved it.
Plot: Magic is outlawed. Only the deck of cards have magic are allowed. Each unique with consequences. We learn about those consequences and the magic through the eyes of the FMC. It felt like a mix of The Cruel Prince but not YA meets A Darker Shade of Magic.
Overall Rating: 5/5
TW: violence, death, cursing, sexual situations (M/F one easily skippable section)
