This had so much hope. I enjoyed the read overall, and the world was interesting with engaging descriptions, but somehow I still found the world building and magic hard to follow.
A flat FMC who we know next to nothing about still, and
Some of the ways plot points were revealed and dealt with were very confusing and clumsy. E.g.
Decent cliff hanger ending though I think we all know where it is headed.
Guess I’m reading the Ever Queen now. Why do I do this to myself?!

However, there were pitfalls for me. I found errors and oddly constructed sentences, things happened too conveniently or easily, and some scenes were anticlimactic. I wished the first book also had a glossary because there’s quite a number of characters and powers you need to wrap your head around.
There is one line I absolutely love tho: “hate me all you want, but don’t regret me.” SCREAMING!!!!
Still ate it up but I don’t think this will be for everyone, unless you mainly love the romance aspect of a romantasy.

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!
