I can see why a lot of people who love the ACOTAR books are fans. It's a great enemies-to-lovers story and the magic system at play in this world is rather unique and probably my favourite part.
It's been quite predictable, the foreshadowing is a bit too blatant at times but with that cliffhanger ending, I'm already ready to press play on the 2nd in this series. Hoping for more danger, less obvious reveals and some more badass moments for our FMC.
Prisca is a bad-ass delight though...she's smart, devious, calculating, brave and she's clearly more than she seems. She's sassy, full of banter (especially with Lorian😂) and someone you don't want to cross!
Very intrigued to see what she does, who she allies with and how as the series progresses. 4 books and the 3rd to be published later in Jan!
It's got some spice, but it's slow burn.
