Thank you to Macmillan Children's Publishing Group for this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review!
The first chapter of this book really hooked me in. The concept of this whole magic and royalty system and the circumstances pertaining to Blaze’s birth was so eye-grabbing. Once I started, it was hard to put it down.
This book really rocked my world. If I had a comparison to draw from regarding the love interests in this slow burn romantasy, it would be like the book version of Damon and Stefan Salvatore from TVD. It’s making me want to watch TVD actually, but more specifically I am EAGER to read the next two installments of this trilogy when they come out.
Blaze is one of the best fMCs I’ve ever read in a fantasy. She’s so witty and practical and her journey throughout this book was often stress-inducing. The trials she had to go through, the GROWTH she had to experience, and the pain she had to withstand made me admire her even more. I absolutely love her first-person narration since it felt more personal to hear her inner monologues and how she views the world as a Rapunzel-like character.
Blaze’s relationship with her twin brother, Flint, and younger brother Renly made me giddy and happy to see such unwavering support and kindness. I loved the friendship squad in particular and I won't name names BUT I have my eye on a ship that pertains to Flint. I'm catching a vibe, and I'm usually 80% right when it comes to those. As for Blaze’s romance, I won't spoil anything other than the fact that I have a bad track record with love triangles in books but this one in particular was done so well that I wish I could sprint to the next book just to see these characters again. This author really knows how to write really charming dialogue and I was giggling and kicking my feet whenever certain characters had scenes together.
