I could not put this book down! I loved the world building and the story line. But most of all I loved Darien and his character development. 

! 
His growing love for Loren is written like a dream. The only things I didn’t like were that the main focus was on the romantic relationship and not as much on the plot. I also found it hard to believe how quickly Loren healed in the end even though she was covered in bruises and scrapes and almost drowned…I also didn’t understand why the Widow said that she would die if she used her power but then ends up being absolutely fine after having used it.

While I really enjoyed some of the world building in this book at times it felt like I was reading horrible fanfic on Wattpad. 

It was an entertaining read though!
