{This book is given 3.5 stars}
This was a wonderfully written book. It's about a human orphan named Faythe who is good with a sword and has to keep her head down around the faes. One day she accidentally gets into a Nightwalker's mind and realizes she is capable of much more but doesn't know who to trust anymore. This was a well-written book with great world-building, writing, characters, and pretty much everything. This book hooked me from the first chapter and I loved how the world building was introduced before so you know what you were getting into. The pacing was fast which I enjoyed for this book and there were many action-packed scenes. The one problem that I had was that there were some random POVS of Nik, the Nightwalker, in the book that I think shouldn't be there since the book is in Faythe's POV. So I was a little confused with that because it ruined the plot twist towards the end. Other than that I had no problems with the writing.

I really enjoyed the characters in this book. The main character was Faythe who reminds me of Aelin from Throne of Glass. I love how she is brave and cares so much for her friends. She does everything she can to make sure that nothing happens to them and I love that about her. She has great character development throughout the book which I enjoyed. I also enjoyed Nik and instantly fell in love with him. He reminded me of Rowan from Throne of Glass. My favorite scenes with them would be when they practiced together and I also have to say that the romance was amazing in this book. There is also an antagonist in this book though they aren't much involved as this book is mostly a man vs. society scenerio.

This book was great but I did have another problem with it which is why it brought a star down. It promised for fans of ACOTAR but I didn't see much of ACOTAR but more of Throne of Glass in this book. I was looking for that hint of ACOTAR throughout the book but couldn't find anything so I was disappointed with that. Other than that this book was greatly written and I recommend it to those who enjoy Red Queen and Throne of Glass.
