Ugh I want the 2nd book in my hands already. I had some suspicions about certain twist but I am still satisfied with it. The world building and the legends in this world is wonderful and vivid. I wonder if we'll get the next book in Isa's perspective. I really hope so.

Rating: 3.5/5 stars
Rounded up to 4

A beautiful world filled with legends and myths that affect the cultures of the place. Wonderful worldbuilding--favorite thing was the different stories of the original races and the queen. I thought the magic system was interesting. All in all, I just wanted more. More action, more romance, more descriptions, and definitely more character development.

Great final reveal. Loved it. Really interested to see where it goes next.
