Really loving this series, I’m definitely hooked and can’t wait to continue reading. I loved the trials in this even if they were short, shout out to the cup one, and I’m enjoying the love triangle for sure, moving the mystery to the plot excited for what to come and progress

Fun, quick, popcorn-y read. Writing gets better in the second book. Plot is very similar to Megan Whalen Turner’s The Queen’s Thief series

I struggled to start this read, so opted to listen to the audio book instead. The narration was pleasant and immersive and helped me get over my initial aversion to the more novice writing due to it being one of Sara J. Maas’ earlier works. I’m glad I did because I greatly enjoyed the second half of this book and I’m very excited to continue learning more about the fantasy world Maas is so skilled at building! And of course there’s just enough romance to keep me wanting more.
