I loved nearly everything about this book.
The characterization was phenomenal. The characters were fully realized almost as soon as each walked onto the page. I loved all their internal angst, and the romance was so sweet to read about.
The prose was so dynamic and engaging, it felt like the plot was moving at a break neck pace for almost the entire book. The world building was intricate, but even with all of the made up fantasy words and concepts it was easy to understand and follow along. The world gave me Zelda vibes with the long lost ancient technology and glowing magic.
I thought there were too many POVs included in the second half, but it was still enjoyable despite that.
Reading this book felt like watching a fun, bi panic-inducing action movie. I’m beyond impressed that this is the author’s debut. I cannot WAIT for the sequel.
Thank you to the publisher for the e-ARC.
