This book, all be it a novella was actually too cute.

I had no idea that story that what was told was going in the direction it went in and I really enjoyed all of it.

Could this book be longer and give more back story and completed on other characters stories? Yes 100% but is it refreshing enough to just get away with being a novella focusing on two characters that made me happy? Yes 10000%

This is a cute fantasy novel and I would recommend to anyone who just wanted to read a quick romance with angst and a slight tinge of magic

This FMC is a mouthy human just trying to survive and ends up getting to trouble leading her to Celestial Academy.

The start of this book is super intense with the magic/race/world descriptions and was a little bit confusing at times. As the story builds, the class system and races become clearer and you begin to really appreciate the characters within the story!

The intense romance between the two enemies is positively

This is the first book I’ve read from Donna Grant and it’s fair to say I will be looking into more of her books after this instalment.

This book follows Yasmin, a courageous human woman with a dark past seeking answers to who she is, escaping her past and aiding to create a better world for others with a past as tormented as hers.

Ravi is a closed off and mysterious Sun Elf who is tasked to receive something that is in a place that links to Yasmins past.

The duo must work together to complete their mission, leading to a angsty journey through a will they/wont they slow burn, that had me almost ripping my hair out at points. The growth of the enemies to friendship to lovers of the two characters had me consumed whilst reading, following them both open up to one another as the book went on had my heart in a vice.

The descriptive high fantasy elements painted wonderful pictures of the world in this series and has me grasping for the next book to get the answers to the questions that had been introduced during the glimpses of reveals during reading.

This is a great book, the world building and magic system is superior and has left me wanting to know more and more after this first instalment.

I give this book 4 stars, possibly 4.5 at times, however, sometimes this book became slightly slow and dragged, not enough to lose interest, but it could have been less and more plot driven than descriptive. But over all I really enjoyed this novel and I can’t wait to read the next one.

*This was an ARC read, for my honest review*
