Loved this more than The Broken Kingdoms series. The new realm was so unique and the next generation has a lot of legacy to live up to, and I cannot wait to hear all of their stories. The plot kept mee on my toes the whole time and I wasn't able to predict the plot twists, so I was taken aback when they were revealed. The relation between this new world and the old one is going to be so delicious.

Wow! I did not expect this book to be so good, but it absolutely was worth the time. Definitely heed the trigger warnings, though, because this book can get dark.

The characters were relatable and real. The plot was twisting. The world was alive and interesting. There was drama and intrigue and poison and PIRATES!

I can’t wait to read the sequel!

(I did find a handful of typos, otherwise it probably would’ve gotten 5 stars)

The pirate/viking/fae cultures felt really unique! I wasn’t sure I’d be into it at first but I was pleasantly surprised. 

Livia and Erik’s dialogue was fun too. 

That ending was brutal and I’m beyond thankful I don’t have to wait to see what happens next. 

A bit slow in some parts but not for long, and some of the more earnest dialogue was a little flowery for my tastes. That said, I was overall pretty gripped by the story the whole time and the love story was pretty swoon worthy and fairly satisfying!

Loved the world building, it was detailed and clear and mystical without feeling too overbearing/too much info to take in. Adored Erik & Livia and all the side characters brought so much more to the story. Such a great start to the series. A good mix between plot and spice as well, it didn’t take away from the story.
