Superbly entertaining YA fantasy. The story is fun and fast paced, and the magic, characters and world building are equally well crafted. Rill Narin is about to have her life turned upside down, and we as readers get to experience the rip-roaring mayhem that unfolds. The book could be read as a standalone, but I look forward to spending lots more time with Rill and her friends in future books. Read Ternion of Tarr and I’m sure you will be waiting as expectantly as me for more from Bethany Arliss. Thank you to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for the ARC.

I loved this!! Definitely a different system of magic than what Im used to, which was refreshing! The world building was exquisite making the reader fall in love with the story and characters. This was an easy pleasant read!

Es la primera vez que leo a Bethany y me gustó su estilo de escritura, definitivamente estaré al pendiente de sus siguientes libros.

El libro está narrado por:
Rill, tiene magia y fue arrestada mientras buscaba a su hermana.
Keeva, hija del conde de Tarr, se vió involucrada e la caza de demonios porque fue testigo del asesinato de un amigo. Sabella, una guardia en la prision de Rill, tiene poderes, pero no le gusta utilizarlos esta enamorada del hermano de Keeva.


Le faltó una mejor construcción del mundo, pero me imagino que en el siguiente libro se desarrollará todo lo que aquí quedó en duda y sabremos más sobre la magia, los demonios, etc.


Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I could not put this book down once I started reading! I love the combo of fantasy and murder mystery wrapped up in this brilliant new fantasy world.
The characters were wonderful, and I especially loved the dynamic between the three main characters.
The world building and magic were so good! And the setting was right up my alley, with Regency/ gaslamp fantasy vibes.
There is no info dumping and the world feels fresh and unique and is well explained in sprinkles of information that are easy to digest as you go.
I enjoyed trying to work out who the murderer was and was surprised by the clever plot twists.
I can't wait to delve deeper into this world in future books!
