Only the 1st in a series, but it doesn't end too cliffhanger-y.

I got this for free on my Apple Books app, not really expecting much. I am so glad I did! I really enjoyed this book. 

The FMC is a badass witch who is only just discovering the reaches of her power. The MMC is the morally grey witch collector

who we start out thinking might be the enemy but surprise, he’s not. And between them there is an unavoidable attraction, with some really great spicy scenes 🥵

I am so excited to read the rest of this series to see how it all plays out!

This was a promising start! This is actually my second time reading this first book of this series. I adore the fmc and the mc in this one, and the plot is very interesting with all the different immortals & politics coming into play. I found it fascinating how the author managed to create a character such as Raina, who is mute but can “sing” her spells using sign language. I loved that. I’m hoping I see more of this ancient culture and magic language as the series continues! There’s lots of development happening for the FMC’s character as she begins her quest and learns more about her powers. I also adored the banter between her and the mc it was very entertaining and there was lots of tension! The only thing I disliked was the pacing in the middle part of the book; it could have been better; it felt like they were in that icy forest forever.

Solid 4 stars! I really liked the world building and magic system, and all of the action and adventure. I absolutely LOVED Raina and Alexus’s relationship. Will definitely be continuing this series.
