I was pulled into this one from the start! I am a sucker for a good romance and I loved Kazi and Jase. Love a male main character who gets proved wrong by a woman over and over but takes it like a man and doesn’t let pride get in the way. I felt like at the end Jase could see why Kazi did what she did and was understanding and even grateful despite how angry he may have been at first. That type of maturity may only exist in books but I knew this was a fantasy going in and I LOVED. I also liked the female friendships in this book!

I will say I’m coming at this just focusing on the story, I really don’t pay close attention to how well the world building and lore and all that is so I can’t be critical about that. I was confused about certain details sometimes but likely my fault. Some plot lines were left open but there is a sequel so I will be reading that asap!!

Not spicy if that’s what you’re looking for (but u shouldn’t be bc this is young adult)
