Rielle and Eliana are two badass mfs and fmc. Books like this that alternate POV move so so quickly it keeps the excitement up the entire time. Sometimes the back and forth was too much for me so I would read a few of a single POV and then go back and read the chapters about the other character. I’m not patient enough and dying for the drama !! Sue me!!

Rielle: I loved that we know from the start that Rielle has the most powerful magic to ever exist and follow her journey to learn how to use it. This is my preference compared to the “just a girl that doesn’t know her own strength” version of this trope. Romance Spoiler:

Rielle and Audric are HOT together. I am unfortunately obsessed with this young man, he is down so bad for her and I LOVE IT!

Eliana: Assassin with a conscience? YUUUUUP Morally grey? YUUUUP Hit now ask questions later? YUUUUP. The world is more than she ever imagined? YUUUUUUUP!

I will be reading the next one as soon as I can get my hands on it!!

📖
This was an amazing book. I had a fabulous time reading it. I liked the characters. Both Rielle and Eliana were well developed characters. While I didn't really like either of them at times, I was curious to see what would happen next. I liked the worldbuilding, the lore, and the magic system.

3.25

this gets a 3.25 because i loved rielle's half of the story and found eliana's sort of so-so. i love a good corruption arc/descent into madness, and the set up of the trials was engaging and kept things fast-paced. i was able to connect to rielle immediately, and found myself rooting for her even when she was clearly in the wrong. eliana on the other hand didn't do much for me in the way of character, and most of the appeal of her chapters was seeing how her story tied back to rielle's. simon felt like a cut-and-paste version of most other YA love interests i've seen, so i was most invested in eliana's friendship with navi and her relationship with remy. i'm excited to read the next book and see how rielle continues to deteriorate.

tomokari's review against another edition

Stopped after the several-pages long sex 3/4ths of the way through the book, and I wasn't all that interested before that, either.

Does it provide erotica level details about the sex? No, but it's not vague and it's not short.

Solid start to a fantasy trilogy. Lots of lore and texture to keep up with, but the plot of the older timeline makes it easy to get up to speed. Love the dual timeline structure.

yannas_books's review against another edition

3.5

Great book. Nice plot. Had mixed feelings. Also, lemme make this clear, not YA. If you are an innocent, impressionable child who looking for an innocent read, run for the hills screaming with your hands in the air. This is not a YA novel in any way, shape or form. It's NOT PG. No way. Other than that, pretty good read.

No. Too much scandalous material in this read. I washed my eyes out with bleach.
