4.0

3.5 star - The reason this is a 3.5 star book for me is because the main character is a 16 year old in the flashbacks & although no lines were crossed, emotional ones were and this age gap is just too much for me. Although the author addressed the whole “16 is the age of an adult” in their magical world, this still just gave me the ick. Why not just make her 18 years old with the flashbacks, then have the current day POV 5 years forward (so she’s still 24 years old) or keep the 7 year gap (where she’s still young at 26 years old)? Besides this, the storyline was kind of predictable. There were some good twists, but nothing that really made this book stand out compared to other fantasy romance books. Some of the scenes felt rushed?

Either way, I’m still considering reading the rest of the series to see what happens. As long as the 16 year old POV flashbacks don’t continue, I think it’ll be a pretty good series.
