I’m hooked. This formula will always work on me. The human girl that the two princes can’t get enough of. Fighting over her. It’s explained more why they are so interested in her later and then you REALLY get into the story. It seems simple and cute and romantic at first and her love for her sister driving her mission makes you love the protagonist. But once you really start to see that every single character is a lot deeper that they appear and every single one has multiple motives, then it gets interesting. The ending was a total cliffhanger and I immediately got the next book in the series and will be reading it very soon. Excellent book. The similarities to so many others romantasy books is the only reason it’s not 5 stars for me. But I’d still recommend to anyone who even wonders about this genre. This book is excellent and meets my high standards around romance. There’s not enough smut for sure, but the little that there is, is 🔥

“I am shadow and darkness and stronger than the girl he sacrificed for the crown.”

WOW THIS WAS A MF ROLLERCOASTER!!! i just randomly happened to pick this one up from the library and was not prepared for the contents of this book. there was so many unexpected twists and turns, so much betrayal, LIES!!! it was sooo crazy

i was going to give it 4 stars just bc she ended up with sebastian and not finn BUT THAT ONE LAST BETRAYAL AT THE FINAL CHAPTER BUMPED IT BACK UP TO FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!!!

i am constantly thinking about brie and finn 😏😏

An interesting story and I'm excited to read the sequel. The author uses male and female instead of man and woman in most instances which, despite understanding the reasoning behind it given the story, still gives me an ick.
