HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!! Thank you Netgally, Onyx publishing and of course Greenwich and Lennox for providing me with the ARC of this book
I thought waiting until now would be a perfect time to write this review. I currently have settled on a 4 star for this book but overtime and as I sit and think about the characters I can see this rating growing.
Its not often I start a fantasy book and can automatically tell that it will be a high rating for me. Usually there is a lot of world building which makes it hard for me to get into the book but this was not the case. You are sucked right into the story and action, Fia shows her personality right from the first page and you learn about her powers/inner battles. You meet both main characters and are introduced to a side (I want to call her a main character) character, along with some history to the story/plot.
General Ashford hits grumpy right on the head, these two are definitely enemies to lovers. Between their encounters at the balls, comments made during training at the gym, and like Fia mentioned seeing cracks in his exterior and catching glimpses of a different General, you are going to fall in love with these characters and the tension between them.
Watching Fia start off as a girl going through so much was just what I needed, she felt real to me. Between battling her inner thoughts, trying to please Osta, Ma, and stick to what she believes along with her new assignment (trail to join the guard and learn how to control her focus) made it really easy to get sucked into this story. I fell in love with the Isle of Sidhe and am already waiting for this second book.
