This is the first ever book that I finished, closed, then IMMEDIATELY opened up and started reading all over again 🤩

It’s giving everything every lovable YA book gave, back in the day, but with adult themes thrown in there too.

I’m honestly obsessed with Oleander, she’s like a swearier Katniss Everdeen 🤣

Love this book and the only reason it’s not getting a full 5⭐️ is because I’m livid at how much I’m going to have to fork out for the rest of the series. Can’t seem to find second hand versions anywhere and with each of the later books all costing between £16.99- £19.99, this new addiction will likely set me back almost £100 💀💀💀💀 (absolutely not gonna be able to stop me though 😅)

overall really solid. it just needs a good copyedit. the story itself was pretty emotional and tense for a lot of the novel, as oli tries to keep a tight grip on herself against her bonds trying to both break her down and (later) try to be gentle with her (well, some of them anyway).

I found Oli to to be such a let down as a main female protagonist. She's all thought and no action. Never once did she try to plan this grand escape to get away after being found. She says f*ck constantly or "I could die". She's 19 but acts like she's 13, which makes sense to the story given the age she ran away. It makes for very boring and repetitive internal dialogue. The biggest problem I had with this book was Oli hiding her power from the reader the WHOLE book (expect the last chapter). I get her hiding it from those around her but it doesn't make sense to hide it from the reader. I think it would have made the character easier to understand and empathize with, if we as the reader knew her ability. I know the author probably did this to build suspense for but doesn't offer any value, imo. Lastly, I would consider this book to be a YA for sure which I don't think it's marketed that way.

I had forgotten how annoying the fmc is in this book. Whining and always mentioning her power and that she can't wait to run away, and boy they'd be sorry if she could use her power... very repetitive. But I remember the rest of the series getting better, here's hoping I remember right!

Cried, laughed, the end was so tense, loved it. Hate Nox ✌️. Atlas (ma lav), also bonus point for Gabe and Gryphon 😛

Alright, ends on a cliffy, but overall a pretty good PNR novel. Reverse harem for you spicy readers but minimal spice in this one, but definitely lots of language. Loved the audiobook narrator. Really looking forward to seeing more of the Gifts and watching Oli’s story play out. I’m loving her friendship with Sage.

It felt like the story really only started in the last 10 pages, but it definitely made me want to continue the series. The complexities of this society of magic users and their connections to each other was interesting to read and I'm left definitely wanting more.
