It’s official, new series obsession unlocked. If you’re a fan of romantasy like I am, this book is for you. It has a ton of classic fantasy elements, a feisty FMC and a hint of romance and tension. I could not get enough! Diem was a little annoying but knowing this is a series and how much could happen in the upcoming books makes me giddy. I love the way the world building isn’t too overwhelming and I’m sure we’ll learn more throughout the upcoming books. I enjoyed the magic system and of course already have my eyes on Luther as a new book boyfriend. Overall, I was thoroughly entertained and cannot wait to get into book 2!

I really enjoyed this story! I felt some parts were a little slow and hard to get through but for the most part I stayed engaged in the story throughout. Can't wait to see what happens next!

4 stars because I know the next one is going to be even better. Book 1 is a lot of information and world building and I LOVE Penn Cole’s vocabulary. The description of everything and the feelings you get while reading. Amazing - I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.
