I devoured this book — hooked from page one. The setting? Immaculate. The characters? Obsessed. The plot? It slapped.

The magic system? So clever and effortlessly woven in — I was all in.

The “just one horse” trope? Executed to perfection. Forced proximity at its finest.

A morally grey FMC with bite, banter, and just the right amount of unhinged? 🫠 Inject it straight into my veins.

The romance is a slow burn but it sizzles — tension, heat, and SO much payoff. 🥵

And THAT ENDING?! I need Book 2 yesterday.

Beautifully written, emotionally chaotic, and absolutely unforgettable.
