I’m not sure why I took so long to read it, but now I’m hooked and I’m not letting go. I could do without the end fight, I’d rather the king lived and our two mcs joined together happily in love but I GUESS, I’ll go for some drama. I just hope its a one time thing.

I heard about this on BookTok and it absolutely lives up to the hype. It doesn’t end on an unsatisfying cliffhanger and the writing is So. Damn. Good. 

I don’t give out 5 star reviews unless there is nothing about this book I would change if given the chance. This book absolutely deserves it.
