I was prepared for your typical YA romantasy, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with where this one went. The romance was pretty good. I was never annoyed by it, so that’s a plus. What set this one apart was the surprises and twists. I felt like we kept getting taken in directions that I didn’t see coming. I do really love how this tackles generational trauma and how our characters worked so hard together to prevail.
