Oh my GOD!! This was such a great read! Thrilling and intriguing from the start. I loved the unique magic system. The wold building was immaculate. The chemistry between the characters had me screaming!

A rough start but a satisfying finish. This book can get a bit silly, but the plot is compelling, the characters likable (if a bit too genuine for my taste) and the romance engaging (if a bit too sweet). I think readers looking for a rivals-to-lovers romance will be disappointed as everyone is essentially a rival, even the MC’s friends, simply due to the nature of the Ordeals. There’s some brutal moments (shocking murders, for example) but they get little reaction from the characters, so this one should be good for those who don’t like too much horror with their fantasy.

This book is a light romantasy. With in my opinion hogwart/twilight vibes. Werewolves, vampires and gargoyle oh my!
