This book completely ๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜บ. I ended up staying up until 2am (def past my bedtime) because I had to know what happened next! The world building and magic system were rich and immersive. The characters were so easy to love and relate to. Lauryn Hamilton Murray nailed it with this debut! Itโ€™s packed with deadly trials, political intrigue, elemental magic, secrets that unravel at just the right moments, and a romance that keeps you on your toes (in the best way). I especially loved how the story emphasizes the power of feeling your emotions instead of hiding them. Watching Blaze, the FMC, grow and lean into her power was so satisfying. Even though Fox is such a mystery he has me in a chokehold already and I canโ€™t wait to learn more about him.

I had so much fun reading this, and Iโ€™m already eagerly anticipating the next book (and hoping it gives us more time with the side characters) because thereโ€™s so much potential here! If you love YA fantasy that delivers heart, high stakes, and magic, definitely add this to your TBR.
