When I heard Brigid Kemmerer was writing an adult romantasy I already couldn't wait to dive in. I pre-ordered the beautiful Dutch limited edition and then saw the book on Netgalley and requested a digital review copy. Luckily HaperVoyager granted me one.
This book was addictive and exciting from start to finish. For some reason I had not learned that it was a poly romance before I started reading, but after the first quarter of the book I already had an inkling where this was going. Especially because the author does an amazing job building up all the relationships in this book. There are so many romantic and emotional moments and despite everything these characters are so amazing together!
Although the romance is the main plot in this book, there is also a lot going on when it comes to politics and magic. From the very start it was quite clear that quite a lot of people were hiding a lot of things. Not every question is answered in this book, but the book ends with some satisfying moments and it truly feels like the first part of the story is wrapped up nicely. I'm already really excited to dive into the next part, because it feels like the true fun has only just begun!
I also loved how the author introduced the world and all its aspects to us. We're actually not seeing that much of the world and yet it feels like we've visited a lot more places. That's mostly because hidden in all the emotional moments, confessions and traumas everything we need to know is explained. And because the author found such a natural way to tell us about the horrors of this world, it never feels like an info-dump.
