Wow

Loved the story but hated the ending! I pray there will be another book and have the story continue!!!

It was ok but felt rushed

I enjoyed this book, however, I felt that I was left wanting. The relationships between the MC and SC were confusing due to the rushed nature of them. I just never got super into the story. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen but nothing really scratched that itch. Idk. It was ok and tbh I will probably read the next one in the series once it is released.

Strange story good story

Doesn’t feel quite completely there’s not enough character development or relationship building between friends and foe and lovers even. It’s a fantastic story plot and set up juts could be … well it could be more!

Love the book hated the ending

Love the book hated the ending! I still find it hard to get out of her own way, and be with the protector

Need the next one!

I loved this story. It kept my attention and I love the world and character building. The narration is really good and well paced. I’m glad book two is almost out bc I need to know more immediately! Very solid fantasy read.

Can't wait for more...

This read was a solid 3.5/⭐ for me. The last half of the book was much better than the first. The storyline felt a bit rushed at the beginning and I found myself asking questions like, "why isn't the MC questioning this?" Or, "really? You're just gonna live with these random people suddenly?" And some of the plot was fairly predictable. But the choppiness of the first half was made up for by the second half.

The love story is... Ugh. I loved it. The MMC is a total rake for most of this book. But you can tell he only really has eyes for her. It's tense, romantic, banter-filled. And I'm here for it. The ending was 💔 and I need book two now. It is a spicier read which surprised me because of how YA it felt at the beginning. Don't let that fool you... Things get a bit spicier later in the book and I'm sure the next book will be just as spicy as I sense a love triangle and jealousy tropes in our future.

The FMC is really interesting. There's a lot of body image discussion in this book that I appreciated. It was nice to read about a heroine who had more internal conflicts besides just being a female heroine in a fantasy book. My only main issue was the YA vibe at the beginning with the courting and spice. I really prefer to read about women who are a bit more self confident. The pages and pages of her doing and saying cringe worthy stuff regarding desire or flirtation was trying to read. If you are into the virginal doe eyed FMC then you'll probably like this book. I wasn't a huge fan, and wanted her background and childhood to give her more of an edge than a victimized mindset. (Just my preference though)


Overall, for a debut novel this was really fun to read. There's a lot of excellent parts to this book and the author really does a great job making you feel connected to the characters. If we get some duel POVS next book I will absolutely freak out. I need to know about that mating ceremony, and what the villain is plotting ASAP.

Amazing

Amazing story with great character, plot and world building, great narration and clarity! Will definitely reread/relisten in the future!

I need the next book.

I devoured this book. Could not stop listening. Stayed up way too late reading. The pacing was fantastic. Narration was spot on. It had everything I wanted. Can’t wait for the next book.

Absolutely Loved

I absolutely loved this book. The characters are amazing, the world building is amazing, the romance was amazing, and the plot kept me interested the entire time.
