I loved this book so much!
When I saw this was a YA fantasy from Kacen Callender with trans and polyamory rep, I knew I had to read it asap. I was totally hyped, and it totally lived up to that. This book has great romance, it has friends to lovers, enemies to lovers and second chance romance all in one book and it was the best. Then it had an interesting plot, an awesome magic system, big secrets, awesome fighting scenes and a plot that gripped me from the start, and basically everything I want in a book.
On the romance, I loved it so much. Because this book is a polyamorous romance it shows love from 3 different angles in the triad. I loved having multiple tropes I love all in one book. Then to top it off them being executed well *chefs kiss.* I loved the drama, the fights and the hate, but also the tender touches which were slowly earned. This book gave my big romance reader heart so much to eat up it was everything I could want.
The plot went in so many directions, from simple life in the school to traveling across this world, however at no point it felt overwhelming. The plot was so much fun and there was so much to see and to do I was at the edge of my seat every chapter to see where this would lead us. I'm usually not the best with predicting stories in books, but there were twists here I definitely did not see coming.... and I loved it.
All together I loved this book so so much so please people go out read it!
I received an eARC through Netgalley and this was my honest review.
