Sorcerous Rivalry by Kayleigh Nicol
4.0
Can I just take a minute to gush over this? I wasn't expecting to fall in love as deeply as I did with this book or it's story, but I did! The characters, the bonds, the writing, the fact I got attached to characters like Cera . Still squealing over Reshi and Kestrel, and that good ol' slow burn between them. I don't think I've read such a powerful cliffhanger that left me reeling.
I will say there really isn't any world building until late into the book itself, which is why I took off one star. We get the general idea of the type of time period they live in, but we really don't get to know anything about the world itself until near the end. And suddenly having world building tossed in our faces at the end when we have all these battles going on is a bit jarring ( and at that point, I didn't really care about the world building ).
Unfortunately, I haven't read the best things about the next book, and the fact it will be told from both of their first perspective POVs ( which I am never a fan of in general ). But despite these two mega downfalls, I will still pick up the second book because I just need to know. I NEED TO KNOW HOW THINGS WRAP UP.

when Reshi realized he was in love with Kestral at the very end and Kestral was trying to keep him from taking off and...I can't, I can't. It's too much, my poor heart.I will say there really isn't any world building until late into the book itself, which is why I took off one star.
