The Aspect of Essence by Samantha Amstutz is book one in The Aelfyn Archives Series. This is the first book I’m reading by this author but it definitely won’t be the last. It took me about a day to read this book but after the first few chapters I was hooked. I couldn’t put my kindle down, I was almost instantly intrigued and interested in the story and plot. I will mention to check your trigger warnings just to be on the safe side. This was a well done slow burn enemies to lovers romance. The sexual tension in this book was top tier. Not to mention I’m a fan of a magical academy type setting. This book was written really well with some great descriptions that I was easily able to picture what I was reading. I enjoyed how I thought one thing was going to happen but then it took a different path; I liked that it kept me guessing. This book is an amazing start to what I think is going to be a fantastic series. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book. 

Final review:

5 out of 5 stars
