It took about 30-50 pages to really get into this story. There is a lot of world building, and I had to reread a couple times to really get a grasp. Ultimately, I think the author did a great job. Especially with a debut novel!
I can't wait to get my hands on book two in September. AND THE CLIFFHANGER BETTER HAVE A DIFFERENT OUTCOME OR I WILL RIOT!

The relationship between the two main characters goes from enemies to lovers but not in a super predictable way. I really enjoyed the pacing of their relationship too! It was very well done and the author threw in some good twists and conflict for their story without anything being too predictable. Their banter also was PERFECT. ❤️
I appreciated the trigger and content warnings because there were definitely some darker moments to the plot that I’m grateful for the heads up for.
Thanks to NetGalley and Angry Robot for this ARC to review.
