I had high hopes for this book, because it was ridiculously hyped up on bookstagram - and let's be honest, that's where most of my book recommendations come from these days. It did NOT disappoint! It was a fantasy tale unlike anything I've ever read. I need to say this: I truly hate "enemies to lovers," and YET... Purdie did an exceptional job working this trope into her story without it feeling abusive, toxic, or otherwise unhealthy. It ended on just the kind of cliffhanger necessary to make me long for the release date of book #2!
