Absolutely loved the world building and the characters. The competition was enjoyable to read and the ending twist was fantastic!

Only reason I took away 1 star was because of the enemies-to-lovers plot going from 0 to 60 at the end when they kissed.

This is a stunning debut from indie author Hayley Whiteley. Rich world building, fun relatable characters, and plot twists that keep you guessing.

I adore this book! Can we take a moment to appreciate the cover? <3 <3 <3

The worldbuilding is complex and revealed slowly like a flower blossoming. I love the magic system, it's so fresh and different!

I feel seen with Brenna as someone who also laughs a little too loud and can't really whisper even when I try. It's rare as an extroverted bookworm.

If you enjoy quests with a ragtag crew, political intrigue, and heroes who do the right thing no matter the odds, you will enjoy this book!

I would recommend this for teens and up. I am really looking forward to to the next book!!!

If I could give this series 10 stars, I would. The prose is invocative, the characters are inspiring and you want them to win so badly.
