The ending was a HUGE twist, like I figured out the one part and was focusing on trying to figure how it all fit together I completely did not see the other big reveal coming. The ending was incredible and the problems it complicates for the next books is exactly what I needed.
The character development and emotional.
The character development and emotional connection was lacking for me for a majority of the book though, I wanted to feel more for the characters than I did but towards the end I felt like it was starting to deepen so I have hope for that to become a lot stronger in the next books (I really hope that's the case because characters mean a lot to me).
Which is why I’m giving the book four stars. I am hoping based on that great ending, the second book and onward will be incredible—kinda like acotar—it was good but the acomaf and acowar were truly what made the series incredible (maybe sorta acosf though the story could’ve been paced better).
So I’m really hoping to care more for the characters and also for their journeys. It’s third person limited solely focused on Casia but I would’ve like more if it switched the “perspective” to Elander too. I think it’s hard to be with only one perspective when it’s in third person limited
The ending blew me away though so it’s making up for my complaints

I LOVED THIS BOOK!! It's perfect for readers that enjoyed the Throne of Glass series by Sara J. Mass, any lover of high fantasy, and the found family trope (my favorite)! I loved that we got to see actual interactions with the gods/goddesses of this world, and although it is predictable, that should not deter you from reading this book. Elander is 🥵 but that's all I'm gonna say about him. The ending has a bit of a plot twist, but as I said it is kind of predictable. I ENJOYED IT NO LESS THOUGH it was still exciting to read!!
Favorite Quote: "The closer I get to the end, she had told Cas once, the more I find myself wanting to go back to the beginning."
