I maybe would have liked it more if I hadn't read it right after an SJM. The romance in particular just wasn't as smooth, but I liked it. And that cliffhanger! Can't wait for the second.

I really enjoyed this book. I felt the action moved along the plot well, and the characters are fun. The romance is a big  factor in the book as well, so watching that develop was expected but still a fun read.

I loved seeing a strong woman as the protagonist and how her relationships evolved due to her nature. A reason I did give it a 4 and not higher was I wish the book was told in her POV, not a 3rd person POV. I feel if it was from hers, we’d get to know a bit more about her relationship with Ryon, and her thoughts regarding her experiences more. I do enjoy their relationship and the development of it, but I think it could be a deeper connection between them.

This book was definitely a roller coaster for me and I really enjoyed it! The beginning was very dark and heavy but with the pacing being done so well, the author didn’t just have you sit there in the gloom and did a good job of giving you an awesome character to root for in Dawsyn. The world building was wonderful and gave you a really interesting and unique premise that you can understand well without info dumping which is a huge plus in fantasy (in my opinion). 

The relationship between the two main characters goes from enemies to lovers but not in a super predictable way. I really enjoyed the pacing of their relationship too! It was very well done and the author threw in some good twists and conflict for their story without anything being too predictable. Their banter also was PERFECT. ❤️ 

I appreciated the trigger and content warnings because there were definitely some darker moments to the plot that I’m grateful for the heads up for.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book- until the ending. I’m excited for the very big cliffhanger  because that means a sequel (hopefully) is coming. However, after everything that happened in the story, there’s a huge moment in the last few pages that took this read for me personally from a solid five stars to four.
 

Thanks to NetGalley and Angry Robot for this ARC to review.
