A solid 4 for me. I’m interested to see where this story is going. To my relief, this book thankfully avoids some of the worst tropes like love triangles and ect, though I think the one thing that bothered me was how Marlow was oblivious to how Ardius actually felt about her. Don’t get me wrong, I liked how the two of them were together, but it did drive me a little bonkers sometimes. Otherwise, I found the world to be fun and interesting a magic system. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I've enjoyed Katy Rose Pool's books before, but this one is by far my favorite. It was so darkly romantic and there were so many plot twists and reveals. In some ways it reminds of the Cruel Prince series by Holly Black and I think that people who loved that series will also like this one.
Marlow Briggs is a very sympathetic heroine, but I just wanted to shake her sometimes at some of her decisions. I can understand what drives her, and why she made those decisions, but still. After that ending, I immediately preordered the next book.
The audiobook was excellent. The narrator brought every character to life and with them the darkly glittering world Marlow gets dragged into.
It was dark and full of politics and betrayals and scheming and also had a strong love story full of misunderstandings. I absolutely loved every second of it and can't wait for the next one.
