such a weird read, almost got into a reading slump. it probably wasn’t what my brain needed at the moment. i’m just glad i finally got through it and finished it because by the end i just didn’t feel like reading at all and it definitely was not solely because of how i’ve been doing these past few days

A woman befriends the woman who will be taken by the wizard, only he takes her instead. She's mad at him for taking her and also mad at him for not taking the other girl.

I like how they handled the
conflict resolution
at the end. It was a very realistic approach to what happens in my opinion
after war if you want their to be peace and not just a pause in the physical conflict
.

This was hard to get through for me.  I didn't like the fact the main character was instantly the best at magic, I hated the verbally abusive love interest, there was a sex scene that came out of nowhere that seemed out of place,  the story was too complicated.  I liked the premise and some of the writing,  but it was way too long.

Although I was unprepared for the amount of fighting and gore of this book, it was one of the best fantasy adventures with a splash of spice and romance I've ever read. I'd recommend this to all fantasy adventure lovers!
