I really enjoyed this one! I received a copy from the December FairyLoot! This wasn’t a book I’d heard of before, but I typically love when I get books I haven’t heard of before. So glad this was the book they chose!

It is set in a fantasy world similar to Africa. It has Humans, Fey, Bloodkin and Khimaer all rolled into this world. It’s very faced paced and a quick read. The characters are interesting and the Magick system is pretty unique.

I would have liked the love story to unfold slower. It wasn’t quite enemies to lovers put along that line. I felt it just unfolded to quickly. I would have also liked for the relationships between the characters to have had a little more story. The relationships aside from the love story was also rushed and it went from hey I just met you to feeling like they’d always known each other. It was missing something.

But overall it was interesting and a fun read. I want to see where this story goes in the next installment!
