honestly really enjoyed it. my first dive into ya romantasy for the citadel book club and i had a blast. though the last chapter or 2 really felt like every fantasy element not previously canon was kinda thrown in there to make the stakes higher. also i absolutely hate a cliff hanger so that was a bummer. i already wanted to continue the series, dont do me like that. it just makes me leave the book with a bitter taste in my mouth smh

I love the writing—it gives it a fairytale feel. I’m not in love with the characters yet and still don’t feel like I really know them, but it was good enough that I’ll read the sequels.

The story was very fun to read, however the language for being a “Young Adult” novel seemed a bit too embellished. Some paragraphs were just a bit too descriptive about needless things, and it was sometimes hard to keep my attention on what was happening. 
The story really brought it all in, because if not for the fun “Will we see our hero(es?) succeed” aspect of the book I would not have been able to get past the first 10 chapters.

The story for this book was great, although I don’t think it played out as well as it could have.  The first half of the book was really slow and not a lot happened.  It just wasn’t memorable overall, as I had to really think about what previously happened when I picked it up the next day.

The narration was good, but I wish they would’ve cast a male voice actor for Kamran.  I just couldn’t get the full effect with the deep, slow voice of a woman.

I love second-half Alizeh who isn’t afraid to speak her mind.  When she finally loses her temper, we get a glimpse of who this character was meant to be.

Kamran is a little whiny, but falls head-over-heels for Alizeh in the silliest way.  He just can’t seem to keep his eyes off of her, which I think is adorable.

Overall, a solid 4⭐️ book.  I’ll will definitely be continuing with the series.
