I saw so many negative reviews of this book back when I bought it that I wasn't in a rush to read it. Now I'm wondering if we read the same book.

I loved the writing and loved how immersive it is. The story has some plot holes, I was so engaged with it that I didn't mind. The whole book feels like a dystopian Korean/Japanese/Movie. I loved it. I can't wait for the sequel.

This was quite the book. I don't really know how to explain my feelings. I think it was interesting. I liked the magic system. The worldbuilding and the lore were interest. I struggled to like the main characters -- Calla, Anton, and August -- and I'm wasn't the best fan of the romance between Calla and Anton.

Entertaining read! I felt some of the plot points were rushed.

The romance aspect felt rushed.

Great twists and ended on a fantastic note. Gong could leave it where it ended but there is clear opening for a second book.

This dystopian enemy to lovers story follows Princess Calla on her mission to save her people. This was very body snatchers meets Hunger Games meets the Expanse. I enjoyed the world building and the creativeness that went into even thinking up this book but I will also say I was super confused a good chunk of the beginning of the book. The body jumping and different color eyes and introducing so many characters at once was a lot to follow. And because there was so much happening in the story there were a few plot holes. A big one I can’t mention because of spoilers but if you read this you might know what I mean. I’m curious to see what the next book brings.
