“And a queen bows for no one.”
5⭐️ 1.5🔥 This book had me turning the page so fast trying to see what would happen next. It was so easy to get lost in this world and lose track of time. For it being Erin’s debut novel, I enjoyed the world building and the descriptive adjectives were a nice addition. I didn’t feel lost within the story and I thought things were explained pretty well. A really solid plot with character building and action in my opinion. There was so much angst and tension and I was here for it. I highlighted so much of their banter because I couldn’t stop giggling. Wren was super feisty and I love that in a FMC. It’s low on the spice scale for me as things didn’t really happen until almost 80% of the book. But I really did enjoy how this enemies to lovers was true enemies until the end 😅 Quite a few twists sprinkled in as well. I cannot wait until the next book to see what happens next in this world.
Tropes:
Dark Romantasy
Enemies to Lovers
Forced Proximity
Touch Her and Unalive
Forbidden Magic
