5.0

This is Bridgerton meets fantasy meets spicy in an adventurous and intense storyline with an enemies to lovers trope. The plot is layered so thickly, there were multiple shocks to the plot that I found perfectly paced, the spice was sprinkled and not the entirety of the plot, and the depth of storytelling was phenomenal. There is an ongoing art theme that is illustrated wonderfully with intricate depictions of imagery. There is violence and adult themes - reader discretion advised. FANTASTIC stand alone novel that didn’t leave me feeling incomplete.

yes, yes, and yes. i loved the setting of this book, it was giving very much regency era and i just adore that. it had a great plot while also giving you some pretty satisfying spice. the only reason it’s not 5 stars is because i wish both the magic and the battle scenes were a tad more epic in scope. i also wish there was a bigger “plot twist” because i figured it out before the big reveal so it wasn’t as jaw-dropping as i would have wanted. but besides that, it was great! i would be quite interested in picking up the second book in this series of standalone novels.

This author has always been a hit or miss for me, but I always keep coming back to her because I find her characters are so addicting. And this one is no exception.

Although this book is connected to her YA series (which it shouldn’t be) Kingdom of the Wicked, I remembered little to nothing about that trilogy, and I was completely fine reading this one. I’m really glad she has moved this series into the adult section because that’s exactly what she needed.

I loved the main character, characters, Camilla and Envy. Their individual characters are so intriguing and their chemistry is absolute molten fire. I could feel the vibrations of their lust and desire through the pages. The smut scenes were deliciously enjoyable, but also I like that. It was a slow buildup throughout the book. Especially because the book is over 500 pages. Speaking of, I think it could have been cut a little bit because there were some scenes or moments that I found were not necessarily needed. 

Regardless, I absolutely devoured and enjoyed this book and it was a great book to end 2024 with.
