Oh my god. This was so amazing. Let me start off by saying the only negative I have is that the writing was not the best at times, but it was not horrible by any means, just lackluster. Now, I adored this story. This felt like a mix between The Hunger Games and ACOTAR in the best way possible. These characters were great and lovable, except for Vincent and Raihn who kept going back and forth throughout the novel, both could be so lovable and amazing and then they could be total asshats. Mische though?! ADORE HER, I cannot wait to see more of her throughout the universe. Oraya’s struggle to find her place in the world and figure out who she is was the best part of this book, between magic and emotions and what she wants in life. The whole ending threw me for a loop and I cried pretty much the whole last 50 pages or so. I cannot wait to continue reading the rest of this series.
