~My Thoughts~

I have had this book on my TBR for SO long and after watching Anastasia last night, I felt like it was time to dive into this 🤭

This book is your classic romantasy. It’s got hot morally grey men, an MMC that will quite literally die for her and a sassy FMC who finds herself in a magical world. 

The tension between Alix and Daemon was SO GOOD! There’s so much heated bickering and ‘we shouldn’t but we want to’ moments that had me squealing. 

I loved the royal court aspect and the hidden identity / forbidden romance / he’s her bodyguard tropes. They worked so well and really were perfect building blocks for the relationship between the MCs

I fell in love with the side characters, especially Jett and Kastian so knowing that the next book follows Kastian and his FMC (who I will not mention because I don’t want to ruin it but damn was their tension palpable in this book 👀) has me so excited to see where this series goes!

Although there is lore and world building, it’s really easy to follow so if you’re in the mood for a one sitting romantasy then you’ll enjoy this one
