I absolutely loved this book! I think it was a great addition to the crowns of nyaxia series. As we learn more about other characters and the greater world that is built, this series hooks you with thrilling twists that’ll have your heart aching

I almost gave this book a 4 because it the majority of the book felt like a true “fairytale fantasy”. The ending/twist made me SO tempted to give it 5 stars but I think it needs more of that feeling to truly be a 5 star.

Overall great book, I love the author’s ability to just immerse you in the world from page 1. Can’t wait for book 3, it leaves you on a twist but nothing that’ll torture you.
