RATING: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pacing: I Personally would not classify this as a fast paced book. I thought it was about medium. It didn’t drag to me but it was still slow enough to establish characters and word building. 

Plot: as typical with a brand new fantasy the plot is mostly there yet somehow unknown. You know the characters are moving through the plot with a purpose but you aren’t completely sure of what that is. I still thought the mysterious aspect of “not fully knowing” what was going on behind the scenes was done well w enough that I wasn’t annoyed while getting to know the world and the characters around me so no complaints here. :) 

Character Development: Mild. If that’s your thing then this isn’t gonna be the book you go nuts for. We got to know a lot of people, places, and things so whip the main characters development it wasn’t much, and it was done slowly. 

World Building: 

Critiques: if I think of any I’ll edit them in. So far none tho.

Applause: 

• The Friendship between Liz and Grady. So well done. 
• Our main man is somehow like all of JLAs love interests combined. I see him being a fan favorite in the future. 

Final Thoughts: 

I genuinely had such a fun time reading this book. I think it’s a start to a New Romantasy that could Rival From Blood and Ash. It’s got everything I normally want in my Romance Fantasies. It’s got tension, mystery, spice, all sorts of magic that has yet to be discovered. If you like SJM and any other of JLAs books I think you’ll love this!
