 In need of your next fantasy romance with witches, magic, and The Handmaid’s Tale vibes (what?!)? This might be it!

You're probably thinking, The Handmaid’s Tale, really?!

Let me explain myself. This book, even though it’s a YA romantasy, gave me those vibes. 

Honest!

The world is kind of gritty, slightly dystopian-feeling, and the women within it either feel persecuted for something almost unexplained, almost natural, or they’re part of the system.

It’s gritty, kind of sad, and you don’t really know a lot because the world and its dynamic are slowly handed to you through the characters. I liked it. A lot.

Of course, there is a romance element. It wouldn’t be romantasy without it. This is the perfect blend of dark reality and relationship-building. The dynamic between characters is fantastic, and the near-constant drama and action pulls you through the story.

This book was a very easy and enjoyable read. Slightly predictable but with a dark edge. Can’t wait to read the next one.
