I thought this book was so beautifully written!
The descriptions were absolutely immaculate! The world was exciting to read about, so vast and different than anything I've read before. The descriptions of the world were amazing, and the descriptions of Elara's feelings of other people's magic were ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!
I loved the relationship between Elara and Sidney, I always love seeing best friend
relationships in books, how close they are, how protective they are of each other! And Elara and Sidney's relationship was something anyone would love to have irl!
I also loved the romance! It was a bit "love in first sight" which I don't usually vibe with, it could've done with a bit more pining and slow burn in my opinion. But I liked it anyway, I loved Levi, and I loved how their relationship developed. I thought the smut was great too, and I could've used a bit more of that lol.
The plot was a bit confusing, it started going one way, with one plot line starting to develop at the beginning and then completely stopping in favour of a different plot line, and then never having any point to the first one.
I felt like the first plot line was irrelevant to the story, I wished it wasn't there, and then maybe the rest of the story could've been developed more.
One part of the story that I wish was more developed was the back stories of both Elara's past and Levi's past, that would've been interesting to read.
All in all, this was such a beautiful read, I loved the writing, and I would definitely be reading the rest of the series!
Can't wait to read the story of Sidney and Jordan!
