Dare I say that this is probably one of the most overhyped books I have seen from social media? Yes, yes it is. This is going to end up being more of a rant review so here we go.

First off, I didn't like really any of the characters, besides Carrion. That man single-handedly carried the entire book and I wish we got more of him. The FMC was fine, but that's not saying much cause there wasn't really anything deep or meaningful about her. First going into this book I thought that the FMC's brother, Hayden, would be more a part of the plot seeing how the beginning went. However, this man was basically forgotten about 25% through the book LMAOO. Saeris would go on and on and on about needing him....just to forget about him and completely change her motive. I hope this man is living his best life cause no one else is thinking about him. 💀

Secondly, I was hearing everyone say, "Omg I loved Fisher so much he's such a book boyfriend,"....DUDE WHERE?? This man was absolutely diabolical to read about. There's a fine line between a grumpy, difficult MMC, but Fisher was one of the WORST characters I've had the displeasure of reading about. Some of the things he would say to Saeris were so...disgusting. You couldn't PAY ME to be around this man for a minute. I'll stick with keeping him at a ten-foot pole's distance thank you very much.

Finally, what the fuck was up with this plot? It was literally EVERYWHERE. As someone who reads a lot of fantasy, this was just lacking soooo bad and doesn't even compare or stand up to the biggest names in the fantasy genre. The magic system and overall plot was so poorly explained and I mean that in the most brutally honest way. Nothing made sense. Trying to add 2 and 2 together was giving me 25. Make it make sense.

I should know better by now than to listen to books that absolutely dominated TiktTok, and I don't know why I didn't go with my gut on this one. 600+ pages and all I wanted to do was rip my hair out and scream. I have never read a hyped up book be this bad. I have zero interest in continuing this series. While I did enjoy the ending and I liked how it wrapped up, that is nowhere near enough to make up for the dumpster fire that was this book. Save yourself if you haven't read it, truly.
