I was lucky enough to be an ARC reader and once I picked up this book I could not stop reading. It was addicting from the first chapter. Sam and Raphael are amazing characters and the banter was chefs kiss. Raphael is one of the best MMC's that I have read in a while (he reminds me so much of Lorcan). And Sam is truly one tough cookie. I loved the world building and magic system. If you loved the adventure in Empire of Storms

(especially the way Elide and Lorcan would banter and travel together)

you would love this book. I can't wait for the second book! [I voluntarily left this review!]
