This book completely swept me away, and I loved every moment of it. Right from the start, I was drawn in by the intensity of Sylvia’s story. Her determination to survive, the weight of her hidden identity, and the constant danger kept me turning the pages. I really enjoyed the mix of political intrigue, rebellion, and slow-burning tension. It added a lot of depth and made the story hard to put down. The writing was vivid and immersive, with a great balance of action, emotion, and worldbuilding. What stood out to me the most was how layered the characters are. Sylvia is both strong and vulnerable, and her relationship with Arin kept me invested. Their connection is complicated in the best way. This is one of those fantasy books that reminded me why I love the genre: it’s gripping, emotional, and has that special spark that makes you want to stay in its world. For me, this was an easy 5 stars, and I’m excited to see where the story goes next.
