I read this book in two days. It’s really well written, no info dumping but I find out the things I’m curious about as the story goes.
Tournament trope is so good here. So is the enemies to lovers. I love the world building and the glimpses of Orayas past.
Oraya is just an absolute badass even tho she’s only human. And I love that we see that first thing chapter 1.
I was shocked by one of the plot twists but I guessed at the other but not to the extent of it. Devastating ending I wasn’t expecting despite the prologue lol.
Read this if you like enemies to lovers, tournaments, underdog protagonist, found family, dark themes, Sarah j Maas books but with Jay Kristoff vibes. There are trigger warnings at beginning.
