A dark fantasy, reminiscent of Hunger Games, but with magic.

Premise was fun (although pretty similar to any other hunger games style read- always fun) but writing was pretty lacklustre.

this is my first five star read. This book is just truly amazing. I truly have so much to say about this book, but I don’t even know where to start. Kai and Peyton’s friendship relationship whenever you wanna call it is so well written. The world building and character building is also so good as well. I also really enjoyed how the sub plot wasn’t just there for the fun of it. It actually had meaning. (partial spoiler behind a spoiler.)

THE LAST FIVE% OF THE BOOK HAD MY JAW ON THE FLOOR

Absolutely gutted me
So much sorrow I couldn’t even cry
Plot twist after plot twist
Competition vibes strong
Combo of Throne of Glass and Hunger Games

This is the most formulaic pile of tropes I've ever seen smashed into one book, and it was a blast. Predictable plot and simple characters, but honestly? I was smiling and cackling most of the time. It was all simple and straightforward honestly but I still had fun 🤷🏻‍♀️ like watching romcoms. You know what's gonna happen but you're still watching bc it's entertaining. Idk how else to explain it. I wasn't in this for the unsolvable plot or deeply complex characters. If you want every romantasy trope with good banter but without any smut then this is the one. 🤷🏻‍♀️
