artsyjonesie 's review for:

A Forbidden Alchemy by Stacey McEwan
4.5
adventurous challenging emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book has a slow start, but once it kicks off, it really kicks off. The spice is slow burn, but once it catches fire is very well done. The banter, the politics, the world and magic systems are all fantastic.
