Feb 2022: 4.5⭐️
A great first book of this series setting up the characters and the realms.
The book is a little beauty and the beast, a little game of thrones, a little twilight and a little Harry Potter all rolled into one.
There were times when the story actually gave me goosebumps whilst reading it and I enjoyed the story arc.
Some really great character development, with a strong female MC and some strong male characters I’m looking forward to seeing more of, but there’s also some not so great character development (Tamlin).
I am excited to see how the series progresses in the next book.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.
