This book has my undivided attention.The character development and the twists and turns of every scene have me on my toes. It has all the elements of what I love about fantasy books, especially in the high fantasy genre, with political factions, fake couple relationship tropes, fighting scenes, a strong female heroine, and tactical and intellectual male characters—it reminds me of the Cruel Prince for some reason. This had a very futuristic setting, onset to living within the cosmos and galaxy where Earth no longer sustains human life. Though it took some time for me to process the terminologies, the novel's concept was really engrossing and impactful. I absolutely love the message conveyed by this: "find yourself, your own truth." I can't wait to read book two.

Okay so i got this book because Chloe Gong said on her tiktok that it was really good so of course I had to buy it. I just finished it like a minute ago and I'm still processing this was really really good. I'd say it's pretty fast paced and I love the main character nemesis (i love her name too). She had great character development and is literally so cool. I have to say this book was a lot like The Cruel Prince, but it's in space in the future and there are obviously many elements that are different. I really think the ideas and the characters as well as some plot points are very similar though. This is not a bad thing; I love The Cruel Prince it's literally my favorite book so I have really high expectations for the next two books in this series, The Empress and The Nemesis.
