5.0

From the beginning there was action and I easily connected with every single character. Evienne is just incredible. I love herπŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ She grows so much with her internal battles and finds her worth and I loved that for her. Orion is the perfect book boyfriend. Caring, attentive, rational to your emotions. And the way he is obsessed?!😩🀌🏻

I was completely invested in the mystery of why Orion and Solon's people lost their magic. It's a slow build to all the revelations, but not in a boring way. Each new piece of information was researched or looked into. Love when there isn't a miscommunication that causes a character deathπŸ˜‚

The ending was wiiiiiild! I was not prepared for all of the revelations and how things went down. It was full of gasping, jaw dropping, and wtf moments! Especially the epilogue. I cannot wait for April to get to see how things go in Beitar and meet more of the Contrapensae!
