• Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.5

I loved this fantasy with romance. The pace was brilliant, the scene setting was great, and I loved the plot & characters.

The only reason it’s not a 5 star is that I would have loved a bit more background on the different houses & magic systems but it is in no way lacking and doesn’t confuse the story!

I love Oraya and her story, I love the enemies to lovers trope and chosen one trope too! The challenges faced by her were cruel and relentless and I loved reading about a feisty human woman fighting against the odds!

The ending was brilliant and I can’t wait to start book 2!
