I looooved this book. I really liked the world Kerri built and the slowburn enemies-to-lover trope. Although sometimes I thought the love was unfolding more and then they hated each other again which was a bit confusing. The writing style was fastpaced and easy to understand. Some say it was very wattpad-like, but I didn't mind. The only downside to this book in my opinion is that it left quite a few questions unanswered. Especially towards the end it feels kind of rushed as rash decisions were made without, to me, logic or explanation as to why. Perhaps we'll get these answers in the sequel! Nevertheless, I haven't found it this hard to put a book down in a loooong time and can't wait to read the sequel! If you're into fantasy, murder mysteries, enemies-to-lovers and brooding characters, definitely read it.
