6/5 ⭐️

Wow. Just…. Wow. The way that this works sucked me in!!! I am absolutely hooked. Of course there are so many unanswered questions and a cliffhanger. I’m going to be on the edge of my seat waiting for book 2. This is by far the best fantasy romance I have read in 2025. ALSO the audio was incredible and the narrators were PERFECT. I love that this was a duet narration because I felt like it brought the book, and the characters, to life.

Okay I’m going to list all the amazing things I loved about this book because my thought are running rampant right now and lists seem better organized

1. The incredible world building with the most amazing detailed writing. I was IN this world.

2. The CHARACTERS! All of the them. The found family and the connections that were built throughout this book were just… perfect.

3. The TENSION and amazing enemies to lovers. I couldn’t stop reading.

4. Character development. I loved watching Odessa find her freedom (pause while I cry) and learning her strengths

5. Ummm those creatures?! I talked about the detailed writing but WOW I was able to picture those creature vividly in my mind and I loved every second.

6. The PLOT! I went in blind and I honestly think that’s the best way. There was a slowburn romance, and a lot of questions that weren’t answered right away but I loved the pacing of this book. It is a bigger book but honestly, I wanted more.

7. ALL OF IT (:

I HIGHLY recommend this fantasy romance with amazing world building and beautiful writing
