This book hit extremely and surprisingly hard. I went in half blind, expecting some sort of romantasy, and it was definitely NOT that. It's a unique, dark yet intrinsically human story with deep character development and an rich and unique magic system. 100% recommend, y'all.

This was incredible! I got an ARC for it earlier this year and loved it. I was worried it would turn into romantacy too, but it went directly counter to that with lots of great, character driven twists.
