✅ Magic System 
✅ Idea 
✅ Setting 
✅ Male Lead was likeable 
✅ I liked the ending of the book very much
it is not really a surprise that she becomes this nightmare creature by the end of the book, but I relly liked the "plottwist" and the nightmare / shepperd king character seems very interesting at the end. Hoping book two is more like the end and much less of Elspeth.


⛔ Little to no Worldbuilding 
⛔ Characters are not very likeable (especially the female lead) 
⛔ Elspeth (female lead) CAN NOT DO ANYTHING - she is unable to open curtains, she is supposed to be badass and the hero of the story but she is just annoying, incapable and stupid 
⛔ The poems are lackluster
