Oh my goodness. These first four chapters are great! I love a fantasy book with gods and demigods, unclear visions/prophecies, family curses, magical relics, and a fmc who seemingly has no powers. It does feel like there’s some secrets left to unfold within her family. I’m curious about the sister, Father Padron and of course The Half King. I only just met him but what a super fun first impression. I already love him.

I’m definitely intrigued/will be reading the rest once it comes out!! Not gonna lie, though, the king’s name made me cringe a little. The writing is pretty, and, though I have a feeling the FMC is going to be a bit annoying, I can’t wait for the rest—it has the potential to be one of my favorites of the year.

There is no easy way to explain this story.

The first borns of nobles are "cursed" and the second born are thrown into a temple as soon as they are born. The female MC must awaken her powers and use them to defeat the curse on nobles but the king as well.

This was a great book. I was in a reading funk and this book took me right out of it. The special editions that are in stores are gorgeous!
