"I was in a chokehold from the very first page due to the unique writing style and descriptive prose. I can’t praise this book enough, it made me want to get to the end to see the outcome whilst also never wanting it to actually end! I can’t wait for the next instalment, please pick this book up, you will not regret it! " Goodreads reviewer Emma-Louise Collins.

"6 Star Read - The first in this series has everything you could ask for in a Fantasy Romance. Trials, games, combat, secrets, and a romance against all odds. This brings elements from The Hunger Games, Red Rising and Fourth Wing all into one series you will not want to put down." Goodreads reviewer Bethanie Ilsley-Morris

"I literally have no words. This book was incredible!! I devoured 600 pages in less than two days, and I regret nothing!! Take Hunger Games, pump it up on steroids, but make it SPICER with wings!!" Goodreads reviewer Becky.

"This Romantasy book is a breath of fresh air amongst the many Romantasy books I’ve read. To better explain, I have been looking for a series that allowed me to immerse myself with each character and feel each moment, like I did when going through Throne of Glass. The storyline has Hunger Games’ vibes with a twist of fae x10000000." Goodreads reviewer Angelica T.
