Review

* Non-Spoiler Review*

I got this book through my romantasy Fairyloot book subscription.

It’s been a hot minute since I have been able to finish a book! I mean I have many books on the go, but there hasn’t been one that I have been able to finish in it’s entirety.

Another romantasy book, another satisfied customer. I enjoyed the world that Erriu created, a simple concept of gods and kingdoms reworked to have powers of the stars.

The main heroine is likeable, flawed and has a good emotional range along with decent aptitude. Which is refreshing as a majority of the time I do get irritated with how some MCs are too dramatic or can’t seem to have some basic common sense. I know it’s a fictitious novel, but common!

Overall storyline was decent paced, the romance was a slow burn and suspenseful. Though it did start to get on my wick that it was taking them so long, but hey ho, I guess I am impatient.

Enjoy story, I definitely will look into reading the sequel.
