Don’t get me wrong; it was VERY predictable, but I liked the writing. It’s different from other romantasy books I have read in a way I can’t quite explain. I enjoyed it so much I actually bought the second book while I still had like seven chapters left because I knew I needed to know how this ends. I hope the second book will be less predictable; nevertheless, I expect it might be a bit more “entertaining” considering the ending.

I am glad there was only one s*x scene and one kiss scene, much more preferred. I liked the world and the fantasy of it. I enjoyed our characters and I just love magic card stuff, always here for tarot related stuff.

* This writing is so interesting
* The magic system is cool!
* Okay, but I like Raven heh
* Oh man this is intense
* Ahh I knew it!
* Oh what a tangled web
* it just keeps getting worse and worse!
* Um excuse me, what??
* Nooo stop
* Ugh not the cliffhanger
Content: skip the spice end of chapter 27, moderate swearing (some f words)
I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did, but I actually really liked it.
The world building and magic system was pretty unique and I felt like it was explained well. The story was fairly fast paced and there was enough going on without being overwhelming. There were twists and turns with some I expected and others I didn’t.
Elspeth was a good character. I thought she did good with the lot she’d been given. She was smart and didn’t let herself be helpless.
I really liked Raven. He’s one of those, tough on the outside but will burn the world down for the people he loves, kind of people and I love that.
And all of Raven’s family were great. So many good characters with interesting stories and fun interactions.
I can’t wait to read the next one and see how all the things get tied up!
Also, the narrator for this was fantastic! I enjoyed it a lot.
Moderate: Cursing
Minor: Sexual content
