This story was so captivating. I went into it not expecting much and was sucked in pretty quickly. The story starts right in the middle of all the action. It’s told in a dual pov and had lots of magic which i love in stories. I dual read it with the audio which made it a lot easier for me for the pronunciation of the words. This story reminded me a lot of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A Brown which is one of my favorite duologies. 

My only critique is i wish the magic system was explained instead of just revealing a little bit at a time. I just made guesses most of the story but was left at the end of it not really knowing how everything works. 

Overall though there were no dull moments and the ending had me a little shocked. I was throughly entertained.
