WOW!!! The hype was definitely worth it but this definitely isn't a romance book - I dived head first into the fantasy and loved every minute. Jude is such a badass FMC who goes through so much, the enemies to lover side plot was so so good - Cardan was a delight to read! These two characters are the true definition of enemies to lovers - true enemies who despise each other. I loved the plot, chapter 20????? What the hell. Still not over that and OMG the ending????? How did I not see Jude pulling that off - I was blindsided so bad. When I tell you I am running to pick up the next book... I AM SPRINTING.
