A new favorite!!
This is one of my favorites of the year so far, it absolutely gripped me from start to finish!This book has everything I most look for in a romantasy: an incredibly unique magic system, an evil ruler to overthrow, tension & banter, a misunderstood villain of a love interest, lots of danger & deception, and some of the tropes we know & love ghat are executed in new & exciting ways. I ate this book up.I love when my impressions of a character are thwarted completely, especially in an enemies to lovers story. Creon is the kind of reputed villain at the beginning of Emin’s story that I really, really had a hard time imagining redeemed. He has a complex, sheltered morally grey background that seems impossible to escape, but Lisette managed to create such a nuanced character and story with him. He’s terrifying but also full of so much hurt & longing, as well as bravery that he has never let go of despite all the things that have gone wrong. Emelin is so fiery and fun, but also full of a lot of softness & hurt she has yet to work through. These two made me laugh out loud with every turn, & their relationship toward each other changed in such an organic way.The plot of this loves quick, but still allows for lots of quieter moments and time to get to know & love the characters, as well as to intimately explore the world and magic. Lisette created such a vivid scene with this book, I felt like I could picture it all in my head flawlessly. I read this in just a few days because it was hard to want to focus on anything else!The ending had me scrambling to download the next book, which fortunately is already available as the fourth & final book in the series is about to publish on 4/2, making this the perfect time to pick it up!Ver másVer menos
