The way I love this book!

I absolutely ploughed through it because I could not stop reading. It has everything you could want : loveable characters, magic, pet wolves, found family and even zombies.

The blend of fantasy and magical realism was seamless and really well done. The pace was fairly fast, so I found that if I had a question the answer usually came within the next few pages.

This may be the first time I have ever gotten secondhand embarrassment from a scene in a book. It was hilarious, and I was dying. It was brilliant.

I’m counting the days until book 2.

Everyone should read this.

A solid 4.5 ⭐

What a beautiful story the author has woven!

It started out a bit slow and a touch more heartbreaking than a new story should but you get the sense as you go along that this is needed to understand our main characters.

The heroine, Cassia, was written for the modern girl. Strong, smart, perhaps a little too stubborn but she stands by her principles which is what readers want. She adapts easily to her circumstances which shows character development.

The hero (1 half), is just as strong. For a young man of his age, the author writes him maturely and with so much responsibility placed on such young shoulders.


But the meat of the story is in the supporting cast! And what a diverse cast it is. Their individual stories, powers and how their circumstances have shaped them, makes for compelling reading and then some.

Not much focus as yet is placed on romance as the world building is forefront but at the end, you become immersed in it and you just know it's the start of something good good.


Highly recommend this for anyone looking to pick up a new fantasy series.

This might be my new favourite fantasy novel! The world building was excellent, the characters are interesting and well-developed, and there were enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. This story was delightful, with so much banter, heartbreak, and love in all its forms. I didn't want the book to end! Need a sequel ASAP!
